This is terrific as usual.

I was discussing your posts with my husband tonight, stimulated by something else completely, and I said I was pestering you to publish them in a book. He felt very strongly that such a book would be very helpful i) to some individuals and ii) to the hospice movement (which, in the UK, is in deep trouble, as you probably know).

I am busy preparing a book of my own, but I feel so strongly about this that I would give my time to helping you and am not looking for any credit. Self-publishing is VERY easy. You would just need to decide on which pieces to include, a sensible order, a cover and perhaps someone in the hospice movement to write a Foreword (I am sure they would be pleased to do so). I could sort all that out for you.

Please, please could we discuss this?

Thanks, Ann, I appreciate your encouragement as always. This is definitely something I have considered but have put on hold temporarily due to competing life/work demands; perhaps 2026 will be the year this project takes flight - would definitely get in touch with you for advice when the time comes.

Sorry, my own life has been over full recently. I have been meaning to reply for ages. It will be easier for me once my book is out (in the spring?) but bear in mind that I am nearly 84 and who knows what the future will be.
