Joanne, I found the honesty of your reply to the listserv just so touching...while I know that we all need to be aware of the economic and structural issues govering OT, I find it pretty inspiring the way this listserv is also a forum for sharing stories like your one.
Prior to doing OT studies I was a nurse for 12 years. During that time I worked with many people who were dying and their families. I think what you say is right...many people deal with dying in much the say way as they have lived. There is so much denial and guilt out there in society relation to the issue; and it's a great pity that frequently a lot of the adjustments (talking about occupations here) that have to take place in order for the person to have a "good death", often have to occur in a hurry due to the kinds of structural issues people have spoken about - disrupting those "patterns" that people have in their occupations.
