Amy Ettinger

This is @DanWhite39 posting in Amy's Twitter account. Here's a story I wrote for @washingtonpost Inspired Life @AlliKlein about the incredible readers who reached out to Amy about her story, "I'm Dying At 49: Here's Why I Have No Regrets." thank you washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2024…

@DanWhite39 @ettinger_amy @washingtonpost @AlliKlein I’m so very sorry, Dan. I was glad to know Amy during our time in New York, and her joyous attitude about life came out in her work. I’m thinking of you and your daughter today.

(1/4) I am heartbroken to tell you we lost Amy Ettinger @ettinger_amy early Wednesday morning. She was only 49. Amy reached millions of readers with her essay for @washingtonpost Inspired Life @AlliKlein, "I am dying at age 49. Here’s why I have no regrets"

@ettinger_amy was an unstoppable force, whether she was teaching creative writing at @StanfordCSP, urging female colleagues to stand up to workplace bullying, mentoring writers, or traveling the US to research her acclaimed book Sweet Spot: An Ice Cream Binge Across America

@ettinger_amy gave me her Twitter password so I can post the sad news on her account when the time came (and, of course, I've misplaced the information in my fog of grief and confusion.) So please share this post to help get the word out. Thank you.

If you wish to commemorate @ettiniger_amy, here is what I want you to do. 1. Don't put off your plans to see a beautiful place you always wanted to see. 2. Stop second guessing your talents, and don't let "No" impede your progress towards fulfilling your dreams."
