There

By N. Newell Rhodes

Lois Green was a beautiful, vivacious, dark-eyed woman whose life and words teach how to live with dying. "Death is hidden," she often said, "and we hurt because of it. My purpose is to bring death out into the open and share things that have been beneficial to me." To her death was a normal part of life.

Through her work as a nurse, a licensed social worker, a Crisis counselor, a HIV/AIDS counselor, and Hospice volunteer, she learned that being aware of death left a person more open to life. She felt it was her experiences with the dying, along with the diversity of people she knew and loved, that taught her to be enthusiastic about life. There shares Lois's way of living life to the fullest even with an illness for which there was no cure.
