NEW YORK, NEW YORK!!!

Governor Hochul has agreed to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act into law, with a series of amendments she has negotiated with the legislature. The amendments include a mandatory mental health evaluation, patient audio affirmation, a 5-day waiting period, a residency requirement, and a six-month implementation period.

We are grateful for this important step, and our work isn’t over. We’ll continue advocating to ensure the law serves terminally ill patients and protects access to this peaceful end-of-life option. Donate today to help us keep this progress moving: https://tinyurl.com/4fuhskfh

JUST. THE. FACTS.

Religious opposition to aid-in-dying medicine makes it difficult for folks to get information they can count on. In some cases, misinformation prevents people from accessing aid in dying.
just
That ain't right.

So glad for organizations across this country doing the hard work of making sure people have the information they need to good end-of-ife decisions that make the most meaning for their lives.

I know I remain connected to my loved ones in other ways after they die, but it sure is hard to remove them from my contact list. Sometimes it takes me years to do that.

LEAST FAVORITE ACTIVITY:

Removing the contact information of a loved one, acquaintance, or colleague from my phone and computer after they have died.

I often hang onto them until long after the funeral or memorial service. While those gatherings feel final and bring a little bit of closure, removing that person‘s contact information from my phone feels somehow too final.

It always brings up an irrational protest in my mind: if I erase this information, I can never get it back.

It reinforces that I can never have that person back.

Today I removed my niece’s contact information from my phone. That was a tough one. She was just short of 23 years old when she died. 💔

I realized there were several contacts I had not yet deleted, so today I cleared it out, leaving only the living in my contact list.

I didn’t like it.

You can't stop the ocean. Sometimes "swimming" may look like the back stroke, or treading water, or standing on your tiptoes with your nostrils just above the surface, or [fill in the blank].

Grief is different and unique for each person who is grieving.

There is no "getting over." There is only "going through" and "carrying."

Grief isn't a problem to be solved.

It's an ocean. Aast, deep, sometimes calm, sometimes stormy, but always there.
And that's okay.

The waves will still come. Some days they'll knock you down. Other days you'll float peacefully on the surface. Sometimes you'll dive deep, and sometimes you'll need to come up for air.

Learning to swim means you stop fighting the current. You learn to breathe between waves. You discover you're stronger than you thought. You find moments of beauty even in the depths.

Your grief is as vast as your love.

Don't let anyone tell you it should be smaller. Don't let anyone rush you to shore.
