Ashes to Ashes

Looking forward to Ash Wednesday, tomorrow, the beginning of Lent in faith traditions that have the season in their liturgical calendar.

But no matter a person's faith tradition, Ash Wednesday is a reminder that eventually, we all end up ash-like -- either buried in the ground or as ashes scattered on land, sea or mountain.

It's humbling. But in a good way.

Spokesman-Review features writer Rebecca Nappi, along with writer Catherine Johnston of Olympia, Wash., discuss here issues facing aging boomers, seniors and those experiencing serious illness, dying, death and other forms of loss.
