		<description><![CDATA[I want to talk about some other ideas about what&#8217;s been happening in Malawi, but in order to do that, I have to give a primer of sorts about how Malawi got to the point where nationwide protests and rioting &#8230; <a href="http://firesika.com/2011/07/what-led-to-20-july-and-the-red-army-in-malawi/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Empathy, Dialed to 11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been sensitive lately. I don’t mean the “can’t take a criticism” kind of sensitive (I haven’t noticed having to work any harder to take criticism lately). What I mean is that I cry a lot. Or really, I nearly &#8230; <a href="http://firesika.com/2011/06/still-alice-and-empathy/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Kübler-Ross, revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today would have been my Grandma Nancy&#8217;s 84th birthday. And on this day, I&#8217;m going to talk about grieving. It&#8217;s been 2 months since she died.

		<title>Why don&#8217;t they say they&#8217;re sorry?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, my other grandmother was in the hospital. She had symptoms that made it look like she had stenosis decreasing the drainage of her cerebral spinal fluid. This put pressure on her brain. The test to figure out if this &#8230; <a href="http://firesika.com/2010/09/why-dont-they-say-theyre-sorry/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>You Need a Living Will! Yes, I Do Mean You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s start with a definition of Living Will. This has nothing to do with who gets what when you die. A living will has to do with how decisions are made about your health when you can&#8217;t make them.

		<title>Musings on Ritual</title>

On top of the busyness I was expecting: finding an apartment, moving, preparing for David&#8217;s visit, my grandma was sick, and then she died. And now we&#8217;re in the aftermath.
