They're behaving amazingly well from their own perspective, regardless of whether I like it or not.

Have you read Mukherjee's recent book on cancer? It's a real tour de force, as his work usually tends to be. Two thumbs up and a hats-off from me. And while I'm being Mr. Book Review Guy, Tisdale's "Advice for Future Corpses" is really wonderful. Author is a Zen practitioner, which I relate to, though she doesn't actually bring up Buddhism except as tangential examples of coping strategies and such. Tisdale has worked in hospice care for a long time and has a really solid foundation in the cold hard realities, which she manages to get across in a non-scary way. Quite a trick, that. 😉
