There Must Be Something Wrong with You!
This memoir is meant to depict the honest memories of a man who grew up gay during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s; got married, had children, and remained in the closet for 55 years. It is not meant to blame, offend, preach or express opinions as to what is right or wrong for anyone except for the writer. It is meant to be an honest depiction of the writer’s thoughts and experiences throughout his life and how growing up gay and in the closet in the Southern area of the United States affected his life and those he loved. It is hoped that those who read this memoir will gain insight, inspiration, or a better understanding of what it means to be gay, to live in the closet and then to be set free to live a life of honesty with himself and others.
Remembering and Forgetting Early Childhood
This book brings together scholarship that contributes diverse and new perspectives on childhood amnesia – the scarcity of memories for very early life events. The topics of the studies reported in the book range from memories of infants and young children for recent and distant life events, to mother–child conversations about memories for extended lifetime periods, and to retrospective recollections of early childhood in adolescents and adults. The methodological approaches are diverse and theoretical insights rich. The findings together show that childhood amnesia is a complex and malleable phenomenon and that the waning of childhood amnesia and the development of autobiographical memory are shaped by a variety of interactive social and cognitive factors. This book will facilitate discussion and deepen an understanding of the dynamics that influence the accessibility, content, accuracy, and phenomenological qualities of memories from early childhood. This book was originally published as a special issue of Memory.
Life's Not Always a Day at the Beach
I did not ever contemplate considering the manner in which I would die. When Dr. Seldin explained my risk of bleeding and Dina describes stuffing my mouth and throat with ice, I began to think about cancelling the stem cell transplant. I thought, I'd much prefer to work and keep going until I no longer could, and then simply die when my time was up, no big fanfare. Although I am petrified of seeing death, I am not afraid to die. However, make no mistake: I WANT TO LIVE, DYING IS NOT AN OPTION. It is simply unthinkable to me, yet I do know I would hate to die bleeding to death. That is not the way I would choose to end my life. I do realize, however, I do not control this. So, this is why I need to leave my dogs, and home in North Andover and move to a hotel two blocks from the hospital. - Diane M. Sullivan
