Hi Barbara,

I also took pause to reflect on your response prior, that this wasn’t giving space to the “ongoing project” (yours and mine) or our friendship. I was questioning my tone—which I saw as wanting to platform you and your experience and to use plain language in a direct address to death and dying. But alas, there is much more going on, so I’ve been thinking about tone and form.

I think yes include our exchange, of course. I can imagine it working as it moves from a diary form to an interview/relational form. And I’m happy to appear in your journal, as a character in your days who reached out to you to discuss this. :)

If you answer another round I’ll work on form.
