The author notes that while at one time in U.S. history all families, irrespective of culture, took an active role in dying needs of their loved ones, today many of us have turned that responsibility over to health care professionals. There are, however, exceptions to this observation. This paper contends that the closer an individual is to the traditional dictates of their culture, the more likely they are to maintain a strong family vigilance.
