EVERY WORD COUNTS
Writing your own ending
by Nora McInerny
For most of us, an obituary is the last public record of our life, yet we rely on others to write it. Author and reluctant grief expert Nora McInerny thinks this is just plain weird. She shares why she and her first husband, Aaron, co-wrote his obituary and how being a bit loose with the facts of his life got to the truth of his existence. Funny, irreverent and full of love, this obituary went viral and stands as a testament to why writing our ending is good practice for being alive.
Take 10 is an experience focused on finding solace, building solidarity and sharing solutions when it comes to serious illness, caregiving and end of life. If there’s one thing we hope you take away from this experience, it's the invitation to create the narrative of your life through to its end. May you find comfort and joy in the process of digging into what it means to embrace the good, the bad, and the messy about the gift of being alive!
Nora McInerny is a writer, storyteller, creator and a reluctant grief expert. She had a miscarriage of her second baby, lost her father to cancer and lost her husband, Aaron, to a brain tumor within six weeks in 2014. Nora wrote the critically acclaimed memoirs It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying is Cool Too) and No Happy Endings. McInerny created the Hot Young Widows Club, hosts the award-winning podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking, and founded the nonprofit Still Kickin.
