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.
Most of us will, at some point, have to navigate this journey for ourselves or with someone we love. 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.
