Living in Bennington, VT
Cradled between the Taconic and Green Mountains, Bennington pairs an easy eleven-minute average commute with historic New England character. Off shift, unwind along Lake Paran's trails, grab comfort food at the Blue Benn Diner, or tour Old Bennington. Statewide housing shortages demand early planning and late-night dining is scarce, but the valley pace is grounded.

“But time has helped to settle the question and a trained nurse’s position now is largely what she herself makes it.”
Most of what a dying person's family needs is to hear that nothing has gone wrong, that this is what dying looks like, and that they are caring for them well.
