Status Updates From Departure[s]

I am at least trying to be stoical, and I sleep more since cancer and its treatment arrived in my life. And while I still hate and fear death (though recognising the pointlessness of such protests), do I rage against it? I'm not sure I ever did — I think I tried to wail lucidly against it. And self-pity is hardly relevant when you see how suffering strikes down others, and how ill-equipped many are to deal with it.
