This is it. This is the end. Someone else will have hit the “Publish” button in WordPress. This is my last blog entry.
I fought so hard for every tiny bit of this life at the end, but I don’t feel like I lost. I didn’t want to go.
People assume I’m a little bit more spiritual than I am, and so you might be surprised to hear that I don’t really have a belief in something specific that happens when you die. I think that might just be it. The end. It would be comforting, as the end nears, to believe in something more concrete: St. Peter at the gate with an assigned cloud number, a reincarnation plan, a transfer into white light and energy.
But I really don’t know. Someone said that whatever you believe happens. So I’m a little worried I don’t believe in anything.
I guess I’d like to be welcomed by those who have died before me.
Josie’s life came to a close on December 3rd at 1:30 am where she died peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by love.
Here is the link to the NYT obituary honoring her life.

You gave so much to so many people. Your humor and open heart won’t be forgotten. Thank you!
This Blog needs to be published, It needs to be shared with the world.
You were a warrior and thank you for sharing! Going through similar situation with my husband. Enjoyed reading your feelings
Oh my… Thank you for your honesty and courage. Rest in eternal peace. My condolences to your friends and family.
In some ways, she may have been vunerable — even fragile but she had such great strength of mind and spirit. After I read her Times column, I contacted her and had her on my radio show — what a treat what an inspiration, We kept in touch after that and she always thanked me for asking her how she was. She had grace in a difficult time. I only knew her for a short time but I think of her often and miss her. A link to the recording if the show follows
