Scenario

When terminal illness creates temporary intimacy in distant families

My mom is dying and my family keeps having these intense moments where we're all raw and real with each other, followed by weeks where we go back to our old patterns of politeness and distance. We're running out of time to figure out how to love each other without crisis forcing our hand.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
