One month after her thigh muscle surgery, the doctor gave Rita, a 72-year-old woman, diagnosed with a muscle sarcoma on her thigh, 6 months to a year to live after he found that her cancer had metastasized to her lungs. Rita had never stopped praying for a miracle, but after 5 months of chemo treatment, she requested a stop to all treatments, except for pain management. Feeling the effects of her disease and the tumors' growth, Rita asked her visiting nurse about hospice, and requested to live, as comfortably as possible, her remaining days in her home without any extraordinary measures. Rita wanted to be surrounded by friends, family, and all things familiar. Which of the following concepts best describes this behavior?
