Website addresses all things dying…

Minneapolis Star-Tribune columnist Claude Peck recently wrote about Obit Magazine, an online forum addressing issues such as life, death, and transition – through obituaries, essays, book reviews, articles, and a blog. Peck claimed it was one of the best finds on the internet. Indeed, it is! As elder law attorneys, we deal with long-term, chronic illness and death on a daily basis. This magazine does, as well…but in an entertaining and educational way. This week there is a review of the book, The Council of Dads: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me, authored by Bruce Feiler. After Feiler was diagnosed with a rare and virulent cancer, he appointed a Council of Dads, men from different stages of his life, to fill his role for his twin daughters, then five years old. This book is about the relationships his daughters have established with these men in the year he has been treated for the cancer and lessons learned. Check out the website and the article. I signed up to get email updates and have found the articles interesting and useful. The link to Obit Magazine is available at http://www.obit-mag.com.
