Recently I intvw'd @TVGavin abt his new @cbcpodcasts LET'S NOT BE KIDDING, abt his mother's Alzheimer's. Listen to the podcast this Mother's Day Wknd: it's moving, funny, instructive – one of the most powerful things in ANY genre I'll take in this year. https://t.co/PExMiMyhMP

"It's so funny, which is so weird because it's a book about cancer" -Tegan (Thank you @teganandsara for reading my book THREE times, even though the ending never changes. I don't want to give it away..but it's in the title) https://t.co/a0KQDc8U4v

[The Mortal Atheist - Blog @mortal_atheist]

I was drawn to this title (for obvious reasons). Check out @RachelMatlow's "Dead Mom Walking: A Memoir of Miracle Cures and Other Disasters."

I once produced an interview with Nora Ephron and told her that my mom still made her salad dressing (the only recipe she ever used). Nora replied, "It's not a bad legacy to have."

[Death, Sex & Money @deathsexmoney]

When she was in her 40s, @RachelMatlow’s mom Elaine got into alternative forms of healing. But after a cancer diagnosis, she refused a surgery that could’ve saved her, which Rachel had a hard time understanding. This week, they remember their mom. 🎧: https://t.co/bLuFXQ8W2W

[Death, Sex & Money @deathsexmoney]

In the final weeks of @RachelMatlow’s mom’s life, Rachel began recording their conversations. And after she died, Rachel turned a version of their conversations into a @thirdcoastfest award-winning audio piece. Listen to an excerpt and more here: https://t.co/bLuFXQ8W2W
