thank you for this. i’ve read both ‘that good night’ by sunita puri and ‘being mortal’ by atul gawande in the last year — difficult to read but well-written and important.
Wow, this post really hit home. It’s crazy how life can turn upside down in an instant, and you captured the mix of fear and hope perfectly when your brother faced such a tough battle. I appreciate how you highlighted the importance of family and community during those times. Also, the part about how you learned to cherish the small moments really struck a chord with me. It’s a harsh reminder that life is precious and we often take things for granted.
So here’s a thought: if you could give a piece of advice to someone who’s going through something similar, based on your experience, what would it be?
This question feels relevant because sometimes, those facing tough situations might not know how to support their loved ones, or even themselves. Your insights could truly help someone navigate their feelings and actions during such challenging times.
