Talking About Dying

Synopsis

Two patients suffering from cancer discuss with their wives and with each other what it means to know that they are dying. Each learned his diagnosis at a different stage in his illness and each felt that for him this was right. Both agree that the support of their wives was of great importance, and that the particular kind of medical and nursing support given them was of special significance.
