Life changes the incident, the ordinary instance, its from the year of magical thinking encapsulates the experience that many people feel they describe changes in their own health for the loss often unexpected of someone they love. And that although great writers throughout time have found the language to portray what loss and grief and facing mortality file, having discussions on these very topics remain elusive in the united states. And i would say even abroad. There writers on this panel have been on the forefront of instructing people, public members of the public as well as physicians and how to acknowledge the University Alex he and the importance of mortality and how to talk about it. We are living in a time when the work of doctor bj miller, Shoshana Berger, katy butler are more important than ever.

I was there because jude had just had her baby. I was filling in for judys maternity leave. I remember, john, just always thinking of the visual and wanting to run around and get a picture, because we didnt rely on pools so extensively, it was a competitive thing to get a picture no one else had. He looked up and said, andrea, get a crew, quick. Get a shot of them lowering the flag over the white house.

I am interested in what you said about the current political climate, and i have noticed that here, too. Although people are welcoming, there are often protesters from various camps to save the refugees that are coming are changing the face of the United States, you know, the usual arguments.
