Voices

A dose of reality

GUILFORD — Joyce Marcel's column, “The death of Rose Kagan” [Voices, Jan. 4], is beautifully written and moving. It speaks strongly to those of us who are seeing aging parents through illness and death.

It's a dose of reality, too - the reality of hospitals, even when they are trying hard to do the right thing, and the reality of death when it is not prettified.
