Dumped

Women Unfriending Women

There are 161 million women in America today, and our friendships are still as primary and universal as back when Ruth and Naomi, Elizabeth and Susan B., Lucy and Ethel, and Thelma and Louise made history. And that’s what makes being dumped by a woman friend so excruciating: you expect romantic relationships to break up eventually—but you don’t expect it from your friendships. And when it happens, you feel as though there should be an Adele song for you—but there isn’t. Dumped: Women Unfriending Women fills that void, exploring the universal experience of being discarded by those from whom you expected more. The essays in Dumped aren’t stories of friendship dying a mutually agreed upon death, or of falling out of touch and reconnecting years later to find you haven’t missed a beat. These are stories by established and emerging authors who, like you, may have found themselves erased, without context. These, like your own, are stories that stay with you, maybe for a lifetime.

As Nina Angela McKissock, a highly experienced hospice nurse, goes from home to home and within the residential hospice, she shares her journey of deep joy, humorous events, precious stories, and heartbreaking love. Free of religiosity, dogma, or fear, From Sun to Sun brings readers into McKissock’s world—and imparts the profound lessons she learns as she guides her beloved patients on their final journey.

This is true; a death or birthing experience can go smoothly or go unpredictably,
heartbreakingly bad. Suzanne, fortyone, was admitted to our hospice on the eve
of Thanksgiving day. She had contracted bacterial meningitis one month earlier ...
