Vale Dina Rabinovitch
Dina Rabinovitch, Guardian journalist, has died. Her last column is a masterpiece of humanism, indeed of humanness. The last two paragraphs express perfectly for me how we all feel about dying young and leaving our kids. Rabinovitch's warmth and bravery in facing that fear are an object lesson to those of us who strive for decency in a bad world.

Those last two paragraphs moved me deeply.
This:
And these shifts have happened
without trauma..."
Without trauma. Ouch. Without
trauma to the children. And to
her?
Life lived bravely in the face of
life itself.
Very moving.

Trauma drawn out, who knows how much worse that could be?
I am unspeakably fortunate, having seen my kids grow to height. They'd be "fine".
And all our mothers and grandmothers only got it late in life, so far.
There's lots more here, just put up since you posted. It's pretty harrowing.
