Description
One of our failings as individuals is that we rarely pay enough attention to what is going on around us. We have a tendency to drift through life without a keenly honed sense of awareness, until some traumatic event snaps us to attention and motivates us to focus on those aspects of life that are truly important. The change in awareness often comes about by experiencing a life-threatening illness or the death of a loved one, shocking our sensibilities and rudely awakening us to an experience of pain, anguish or grief.
