Description Hannah, an old old Jewish woman is about to die.
Inspired by Atul Gawande\'s Being Mortal , Will Schwalbe\'s The End of Your Life Book Club, Karl Knausgaard\'s My Struggle, Sara Bragin commits in this, her first book, to discover what can happen when life\'s most ordinary moments are honored and entrusted to the page..
In The Living In Her Dying, a Mother and Daughter Come to Know Each other, and themselves, so the Mother can die and the Daughter can live.
But so passionate, so committed to dignity, the story of Hannah and Sara becomes a universal story of love: how we struggle to connect and, finally, to separate.
A memoir of caregiving and advocacy, yes.
Determined to untangle the kinks in their long and complicated relationship, Sara invites us on a journey through the last months of Hannah\'s life -- from the dining room of LA\'s Jewish Home to the Day Room of UCLA\'s Geriatric Psych Ward; from despair to dark humor to release.
Not while there\'s a heart pumping, breath flowing, mind working (mostly), corned beef left to eat.
But not so fast Sara, her not-so-young Daughter isn\'t ready to let her go.
