The author narrates her experience of mourning her therapist's sudden death. The profession has neglected implications of the analyst's mortality: what is lost or vulnerable to loss? What is that vulnerability's function? The author's process of mourning included her writing and her becoming an analyst. Both pursuits inspired reflections on mortality in two overlapping senses: bodily (the analyst is mortal and can die) and character (the analyst is mortal and can err). The subject thus expands to include impaired character and ethical violations. Paradoxically, the analyst's human limitations threaten each psychoanalytic situation, but also enable it: human imperfection animates the work. The essay ends with a specific example of integrity.

- Analysts studied data from the INSPIRE registry to understand post-COVID conditions and how symptoms progress, resolve, and reemerge after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- They examined self-reported symptoms from 1,296 adults over 12 months, finding a significant decrease in symptoms at the 3-month follow-up for both COVID test-positive (from 98.4% to 48.2%) and test-negative (from 88.2% to 36.6%) participants.
- The study revealed that symptoms can persist or reappear for up to a year after COVID-like illness, suggesting these symptoms are not only related to COVID-19 but can be associated with other illnesses as well, aiding healthcare providers in

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States (1). Although stroke death rates have declined since the 1950s, age-adjusted rates remained higher among non-Hispanic Black or African American (Black) adults than among non-Hispanic White (White) adults (1,2). Despite intervention efforts to reduce racial disparities in stroke prevention and treatment through reducing stroke risk factors, increasing awareness of stroke symptoms, and improving access to treatment and care for stroke (1,3), Black adults were 45% more likely than were White adults to die from stroke in 2018.
