Field notes from the end of life: My thoughts on living while dying
Texarkana Gazette, Texarkana, TX; 7/26/25
As friends are quick to tell me, we are all living with dying. True enough. Especially because I'm 76, or, as my late husband, Alec, would say, "too old to die young." But it's still disturbing to get official notice of your imminent demise. ... In a series of stories, I'll be sharing my field notes as I make my way from here to there, in the hope that others might find it useful. ... When I start feeling grim about my situation, I'm finding it useful to take a "Would it help?" moment to consider whether my response can improve the situation or help me cope.
