Worry loves to fight in my brain the first moment of the day. I’ve spent years learning how to stop worrying. If the outside world is bright, my brain rings with peace. But if circumstances are scary, my brain goes off like a bobcat in a hen house!

Reading the obituary of a good friend reminded me how suddenly life can change.

John Pitman was diagnosed with glioblastoma. He died 14 months later at 68.

Jeffrey Weiss, a business reporter for the Dallas Morning News, died of the same disease.

He documented his diagnosis and treatment in his newspaper columns.

One of Jeff’s final columns made me wonder how he faced the fear of dying.
