Dear all,
Helen passed away at 13:21 local time. Helen would not have wanted us to be sad for a long time. All they wanted was to be remembered. They looked forward to being rid of pain and to being at rest. Helen took great comfort in you, their friends and readers.

This is a beautiful reflection on the way we characterize others and the importance of the idiographic in that. Brings me back to my Allport roots. Most elegant integration of personality is the nomothetic-idiographic for me.

But it remains a financial, emotional catastrophe for my family. My youngest 12 now and I just don't know how to parse that that he will not have a mother. And my husband sacrificed too much for my career. And now he's here in Saint Louis with an uncertain future

We are trying to make the best of a horrible situation. It is not easy, butt onte advantage is that I get to say goodbye to everyone. That wouldn't be the case if it's for a car accident or some other sudden event. And I placed all my affairs in order which is also good.

So many important things are discussed at conferences. When international travel is dangerous & science is under threat & research funding is being slashed & we know how bad flying is for the climate & we have technology to make it happen, the fact that all conferences aren't hybrid is wild. 🧪
