Anne Lamott when asked whether she’s afraid to die: ‘Not at all’

“No not at all. As a Christian [death is] just a really significant change of address. Second of all, I have had a lot of death in my life and I have been summoned by a lot of families that I knew to be there for them and their dying person towards the end. And I’ve just seen that almost every time it’s a very gentle, beautiful, sweet, of course painful time of life. It’s just so sacred, it’s just so doable … What you discover in those last months of a person’s life they’re not thinking about all the promotions they got, they’re not thinking about the number they rose to on The New York Times list or at Amazon; they’re thinking about love.” - Anne Lamott
