Sidney - I love your blunt honesty about life and death. And of course, I'm so sad to read about Gary's impending end of life as I'm sure everyone is who has passed his way - and yet you are so brave to be able to tell the story with such a sense of love while embracing the truthfulness of your experiences in this moment. Big hugs to both of you....d

Beautiful, moving writing. I have also written about death and dying and so admire your graceful, nuanced observations - the description of the nurse was brilliant. And of course your husband’s desire to be seen was both heartbreaking and human. I look forward to more.❤️

Sidney. I've enjoyed your substack from the get-go, but I really like your idea of separating politics from the personal. I think it will allow for a freer flow of your creative energy, as woo-woo as that sounds. Keep telling the hard stories.
