Marjorie Baer used to joke about her retirement plans.She wasn’t married and had no kids,but she didn’t intend to be alone—she and all her single friends would move into a fictional home she called Casa de Biddies.Instead,Baer developed terminal brain cancer when she was 52.But just as she’d hoped,her friends and family provided her with love and care to the end.
Ballance was only the first of Baer’s friends who became her unofficial caregivers.With her brother Phil Baer from Los Angeles,they worked out a system to watch over their friend and allow her to keep some of the privacy and independence she cherished.
Baer’s good friend Ruth Henrich took Baer to doctors’ appointments and helped her deal with all the aspects of life —answering machines,TV controls,and even phone numbers.After Henrich sent out an email request,a group of volunteers signed up to ferry Baer back and forth to radiation therapy (放疗).Others in Baer’s circle offered up particular talents:A nurse friend helped Baer figure out how to get what she was due from Social Security and her disability insurance;a lawyer pal helped Baer with her will;a partner who was an accountant took over her bills when she could no longer manage them.“There was this odd sense that the right person always showed up,” says Ballance.Their arrangement worked remarkably well.
