    AbstractThe author's reflections on Becky's legacy (see Werth, this issue) revolve around the idea that she can serve as a role model and that Becky's and Jim's experiences provide guidance to others who will inevitably go through the dying process. She also highlights several themes she saw in Werth's article: a cultural revolution around dying, the individuality of the dying experience, the need to expand the framework of care for the dying, and access to care and limits on access. She concludes by focusing on the need for communication between the dying person and loved ones.
