“It's called a time horizon- a sense of how much time we have remaining. For teenagers, it's vast. It's infinite. But as we get older, it shortens and shortens- and we can't help but feel it.

How much we have to be thankful for. What a miracle each breath is.”

And what my clients often discover is that what they had is far better than what is out there. This”

“Death comes, and sometimes it is kind, and often it is cruel, and very rarely it is welcome. But it comes all the same.”
