Sarah's Blueprint Serries #2
Notas do episódio
My friend Sarah passed away a year ago February. She was an extraordinary woman who died of cancer after living with cancer.
She never fought the cancer. She made friends with it.
She died a very aware, conscious death, true to herself, thinking things through right up until the very end.
Her journey is a blueprint, not only for dying with dignity, but for embracing the transition that death brings, something our culture so often has no idea how to approach.
We had many candid conversations about her upcoming transition, with very little emotion, because that was how she wanted it.
She brought grace and style to everything she did, including dying.
Sara asked me not to publish these conversations until after her death. This is the beginning of a series of episodes sharing those conversations. An earlier episode ' Sarah's Weeping pearl" explores some of her life, finding out she had cancer, and what that experience was like for her.
These candid conversations feel enlightening to me, but they should come with a warning for people going through similar experiences. They may offer a blueprint, but they may also be cathartic and bring up all kinds of feelings.
They are the kind of conversations that can help people find peace in the end.
And that is why I am publishing them.
