Dying and the question of dignity
As a palliative care nurse, I have been privileged to be with many people at the time of their death. People of different ages, nationalities, professions and family histories, in homes, hospitals and aged care facilities. Dying is hard work, perhaps the hardest we will do; although living through the death of a person we love might be the toughest task of all.
And yet on the faces of people close to death and those around them, I have seen not just fear, sorrow and pain, but smiles, winks, joy and flashes of pure love, too. This writing is to share just a few of the many profound moments I have witnessed in my work, which I believe speak to our human dignity in a way that euthanasia and assisted suicide never could.

Take action through education
Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June and this year’s theme, ‘More than a word. Reconciliation takes action’, calls for everyone to take more impactful steps towards achieving reconciliation.
“Words don’t mean much unless they are followed up by serious commitment and actions by government and non-government sectors to address reconciliation,” says Associate Professor Clive Walley (pictured), National Director of Indigenous Education at the University of Notre Dame Australia.
“There needs to be a concerted effort by everyone across the country to really value, recognise and respect that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have contributed significantly to this great country of ours and it is up to all Australians to be a voice for them. The time for action is certainly well overdue, but I also know that many colleagues and friends are doing their bit to change this,” he says.

WA Academics Stimulate Emotional Intelligence
A group of researchers and practitioners from Western Australia, including several academics from the University of Notre Dame Australia, have recently established the Emotional Intelligence Society of Australia (EISA), a non-profit educational organisation that aims to form a global network of individuals interested in applying the principles of emotional intelligence in their personal and professional life.
In the grand scheme of things, the concept of emotional intelligence is a recent addition to our understanding of human behaviour, having only been coined in the early 90s by Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer. Salovey and Mayer described emotional intelligence as “a form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and action”.
