“The grief of becoming unrecognizable to yourself.” This. Thank you for this exquisite articulation.

Dearest Jane, the last photo I saw of you was all SMILE! You will never lose that! I notice the older women get, the more they smile. Maybe because they are looking outward more, have eased out of self-ness.

Every single one of us will age. It’s my turn to be eighty! How about the beauty of Jane Goodall? And RBG? And Helen Mirren? YAY US!!!

Jane, this is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve read on the process of becoming and transforming while we age. Thank you for bringing your wisdom and courage. ❤️❤️
