The Quiet Truth
What Readers Say—And What I Don’t Often Say Back
Over the past few months, I’ve received a steady stream of notes—emails, comments, quiet asides—telling me that this newsletter has become something people rely on. A place to think more clearly about aging, caregiving, and the systems we all eventually collide with.
I’m grateful for that. Truly.
What I don’t often say out loud is that work like this doesn’t sustain itself on gratitude alone. Research, reporting, reflection, and yes—calling out uncomfortable truths—require time and independence. If this writing has helped you see something differently, a paid subscription is one way to ensure it continues.
