Cum scrii despre moarte

Thomas Curwen de la LA Times, despre moartea unei femei de o boală degenerativă şi decizia ei de a-şi dona organele pentru cercetare. Iată două paragrafe despre cum înfrunţi inevitabilul unei astfel de boli:

She also made friends on an ALS forum, venting frustrations, discussing medications and cracking jokes (“Q: When you’re lying in your casket, what do you most want your friends to say? A: Look, he’s moving”).

There were times when she felt suicidal. But they passed, and what remained was a cobbled-together spiritualism based on the 12-step program, the Upanishads, Buddhism, yoga, Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen and Freud. It was enough to sustain her.
