Burning off Helen is a first-person narrative essay by Carol Becker of a daughter's profound quest through the countless phases along the way of getting rid of her 98-year-old mom. As an only child, she must presume complete responsibility for the often absurd but necessary planning that health problems and death require. At the same time, she must struggle with her frustrating grief and misunderstanding, trying to make sense of her mother's life and her own. As she slowly but surely comes to allow the inevitable damage, she focuses instead on finding ways to ensure a dignified and respectful passage, building an end-of-life experience that is significant and sacred to them both.
