Thank you, Mary Lynn! As his story isn’t written yet, I am trying to fight, learn, and push science to keep him around as long as possible. I like your AND statement. I need to both surrender and fight! Probably why I am writing a memoir - am so conflicted!!!
This interview is so real and so beautiful. Thank you, Tripp, for what you do and for who you are. Close to home for me, my father was a chaplain and I understand how unique and powerful this kind of friendship is in such a time of need as a hospice situation entails.
Tripp has a wonderful way of allowing/ inviting/ encouraging patients and their loved ones to do and be what they gotta do and be. In my own caregiving experiences I had to know I had done everything within my means to accompany, to comfort, and to serve my dying loved ones.
Kristina, you are a physician and a medical research scientist. Your husband has a rare disease. With one glove you may be reaching for some way to accept this situation. But with the other how could you NOT come out swinging, against whatever odds, for his survival? It’s not either/ or but AND.
The only peace on offer in this boat is to know, no matter what happens, that you showed up for it any which way you could.
