Well, let me reintroduce you here. If you're just joining us, my guest is Sarah Wildman. She's a writer and editor in the opinion section of the New York Times, where she wrote a series of articles about being the mother of an adolescent with terminal cancer and what it was like at the end, three and a half years after the diagnosis. Her daughter, Orly, died in 2023 at the age of 14.
