So brave. So perfectly truthful. This passage calls to mind the writing of Richard Selzer, a surgeon, whose stories are heart-stopping in their terrible beauty. "Imagine A Woman" is my favorite. It also calls to mind the strangers and loved ones--my father, my mother, my husband--I've been privileged to companion at the end of this life and the beginning of whatever is next.

Thank you so much, Rochelle! I will have to find Selzer.
