Let me preface this post by saying that every kind word, hug, card, text, phone call, and email has meant a great deal to me. These are just a few other gifts that I’ve particularly enjoyed, in case you have a loved one going through something similar and are wondering what might bring some comfort.


Many friends and colleagues have also brought by meals, which has been a huge help, and I’ve asked for recommendations re: good comedies (TV shows, movies, podcasts, etc.), since that’s all I’m interested in consuming, media-wise, at the moment.
