Thembi Nkambule has been there for hundreds of people dying from Aids in Eswatini - a country where one in four people have HIV. These are the lessons she has learned on what it means to have a good death .
Thembi sees three kinds of death.
The first is the most common. The person looks at her with blank eyes that say, It s over. I ve given up. Thembi watches as they close their eyes and let go. A life lived in secrecy ending in shame. This is a bad death. Then there is the second type, Thembi says. The person has a message, or sometimes a warning, for the people they will leave behind. There is a lesson they have learned that they want passed on.
