I wanted to share (with End of Life Doulas but now you wider community too...see Doulagivers.org for the latest offerings, some happen at a savings periodically and there are some free programs online and in person as well as monthly payment plans)...so  I am sharing that I met Lois Schaffer who wrote a moving book, The Unthinkable, a story about her daughter Susie who was a victim of gun violence.

Online this morning, I read about Jack Sheedy who was happily married to Jean Sands later in life. She passed away from painful illnesss but had written poetry for two books, the most recent is called Close But Not Touching" and the former one "Gandy Dancing" (2009). The latter  Jean was able to get published and the other not quite.

In the Republican-American CT newspaper, Jack says throwing out her work would have been like letting all her work be for nothing. He wanted to honor her efforts which would have been a gift to him by making it a gift for her.
