Jake Seliger is a writer with an aggressive, incurable cancer, a wife — Bess — who is an ER doctor, and a blog:

We spend so much time buying, storing, corralling, searching, sorting, and thinking about stuff, and then we perish and what happens?

I mean that in a literal way: I die from that squamous cell carcinoma in my neck and lungs, and then what? What happens to Bess?

Have a tissue ready.
