The Opposite of Loneliness

At the Far End of Life

Old age isn’t easy, but it can bring heartwarming responses such as the kindness and love Diana depicts in her newest book, about the frustrations, celebrations and mistakes she and her siblings made during the last years of their parents’ lives. There is humor, too, as Diana looks at her own aging process.

Celebration of the Past, Present and Future
