Summary:
"Aging isn't easy. But it can still be filled with joy-maybe even more joy than expected. Described by the New York Journal of Books as 'a Buddhist Anne Lamott,' Zen teacher and writer Susan Moon explores both the losses and the gifts that come with the final years. Joining levity with tenderness, Moon shares stories from her own life including knee replacements, cornea surgery, Zoom chats with grandchildren, and dementia. Susan Moon illustrates the strength that can come from within, sometimes unexpectedly, even as our bodies fail. Our radiant aliveness can be discovered and rediscovered any time up to the last moment. '
Alive
Until

re
Dead
' offers a Zen approach to aging. Moon's stories explore being present with what is, not turning away from what's difficult, wishing for and working for the wellbeing of others, and being willing not to know what's next. Moon writes of her most personal vulnerabilities in the service of connecting with everyone. These field
