- This is an important essay about ways to help friends who are suffering—ways that don’t involve food. It’s also about asking friends what they need. And about knowing how to answer that question when asked. By Julie Devaney Hogan in Today.com
- This is an absolutely devastating essay from author, Amy Silverstein, whose memoir on the friends who kept her company while she wanted for a heart transplant I just happened to finish. In this essay she says she has two weeks to live, and the issue isn’t her heart—not directly anyway. from NYT
