It is people who pause to appreciate life and give thanks who are happiest. If we change our thoughts, we change our world! Love and peace to you all.

We all just realized that I am terminally ill and I'm dying and I would just prefer to die with less pain and less suffering.

I'm choosing to suffer less. To put myself and my family through less pain.

I won't live to see the death-with-dignity movement reach critical mass, but I call on you to carry it forward.

I feel very fortunate to go surrounded by love. I'm proud of the life I lived.

Having the choice at the end of my life has become incredibly important. It has given me a sense of peace during a time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty and pain.

Right when I was I was diagnosed my husband and I were actively trying for a family, which is heartbreaking for us both.
