Abstract
The sensuous, spiritual musings of a man nearing death have been recounted in an essay entitled "The Last Kiss" which is published as an occasional paper in this issue of the Journal. This commentary on that essay examines some near-death experiences for causation and content and shows the value of diversity of training and experience in hospice and palliative care teams.
