what readers are saying:

“In your recent post, The Expectation of Loss, you wrote, I’d want to be alone. I know who I am alone, in reference to your last day. If we were sitting in a room together, I would say, “Tell me more.” I would also tell you that your words, I know who I am alone, describe me perfectly, however, I never would have found those exact words and put them together. Based on your words, I did some reflective journaling this morning and for the first time, was able to write….I am most myself when I am alone. I could write more, but mostly wanted to thank you for allowing me to experience new things, and to see you through your written words.” – Substack reader.

“The most moving aspect of this book, for me, was witnessing the caregiver’s growth towards acceptance of her mother as a “different” person than the one she remembered: “My mother was becoming closer to the perfect state of being.” – Amazon review.

“Your words are always so thought provoking and comforting, most of all, I cherish taking the time to myself to sit and read them with my cup of coffee. Just spending time with me and your words! Love it!”
