Between Death and Goodbye


I am honored to have a short essay published by Modern Loss, an online journal devoted to sharing our stories of grief and building a community of support.


It is about sitting with my wife between her organ and tissue donations and saying goodbye. You can read it online at: http://modernloss.com/between-death-and-goodbye/
