How to Die Well

"[Her] human glory was not obliterated, and the hero was unsubdued.”

Hi everyone,

While writing last week’s essay (“The Last Chapter of Life”) I kept thinking about somebody I lost a few years ago, and who had taught me more about living and dying well than any other single person. I wanted to write about her in the context of what I’d written about our narratives around dying.

So this dedicated to her.
