So many times, my wife and I sat in a tiny room in more than 8 different hospitals waiting for some doctor to tell us if our child was still alive. Twice the answer was no, they died, but we brought them back. Since then, I have been scared shitless of death...until I also e-met you. You have shown me that death can be peaceful. Thank you, so much for your gentle truths of knowing you are dying.Lindseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326616785511879092.post-62671537699750403152011-08-17T16:26:28.986+08:002011-08-17T16:26:28.986+08:00Thanks for the help with the BD and all your other...Thanks for the help with the BD and all your other intelligent, fun to read posts! Excuse me if this sounds selfish, but do assign someone to do updates when you are no longer able to write to let us know how you are doing and to let us know when "your time" finally comes.

I am in the position of helping to make the same decisions you write of in this post. My son is able to tell us what he does & does not want. He wants life on his terms- he is mostly at peace and able to enjoy much of his day even though he is too tired to want to leave the house, but there are moments when he just screams, and I can only sit and hold him trying to imagine how he perceives things, how he feels. Your words here and at BD have helped immensely in this regard. <br />I have a nondual/ Taoist bent and your worldview touches me in that regard too.<br />All the blessings that are mine to give, I give to you Eric.<br /><br />Cindy L. in St. LouisCyrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460724644257421657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326616785511879092.post-35078520269426081432011-06-07T01:56:12.105+08:002011-06-07T01:56:12.105+08:00Eric, I'm so very grateful that our paths have...Eric, I'm so very grateful that our paths have crossed.

Thank you so much for sharing that life with many of us who walk a difficult path. Your insight and advice has made me understand my daughter better, and I share your comments with everyone I meet that has a tube, a loved one with a tube, and many who have neither. You are a force for good, quite literally. I am struggling for the words to tell you how large you are in spirit.<br /> I look forward to meeting you in the next life with your new beautifully working body and thanking you in person. <br />Your Blended diet friendJoseph & Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214313504631107696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326616785511879092.post-14689596462448968502011-06-06T04:13:45.454+08:002011-06-06T04:13:45.454+08:00Eric know that you have made great contributions t...Eric know that you have made great contributions to many lives.

I have your site bookmarked on my computer but haven't gotten to your site for a few days now. I miss your humor in my daily pop up emails. I was thinking of changing groups just to be able to get the advice you have given me when my husband was ill with cancer and he needed a tube. I love your thoughts and humor. Pain is not a fun thing to deal with as when you are in pain you can't really concentrate on others or important things like your garden and the beauty to touch and see. I love the idea of throwing a party. Those are way better than funerals. You get to say thank you at the party and know what people think and feel. Truly a celebration of ones life. You truly amaze me Eric and thanks for walking with me via the internet in helping me help my husband through his time of trials. Blessings to you and your wife.

You have such depth of perspective in the face of all this pain and seemingly expanded awareness in the face of physical limitation and courage in the face of death, alongside the unavoidable sadness. (Have your coping skills always been this exceptional? Honestly. It's impressive.) The level of thoughtfulness you bring to all your interactions is rare. You, in a way, have given me hope BECAUSE you are one of "the ones"... those who so clearly love the planet and its people and are leading the way without even realizing it. You help prove that we are in fact not devolving into power-seeking haters and fame-seeking pageant politicians but we are actually, overall I think, rising above all that, toward meaning and love. "Don't let reality TV fool you," I tell people. "Go read Entropy and Light."<br /><br />I'm so sorry that you are suffering.<br /><br />I'm so glad to have e-met you.<br /><br />(And I'm not saying I deserve a medal or anything, but this is the fifth time I tried commenting, having been thwarted by a two-year-old who laughs just like cookie monster and a stupid ancient laptop. So, I'm proving that humanity can overcome technical frustration with minimal swearing. And you're welcome.)Amberhttp://lifeandtimesofstella.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326616785511879092.post-75547494938154772912011-06-05T02:39:32.646+08:002011-06-05T02:39:32.646+08:00I wanted to let you know how much my son and I app...I wanted to let you know how much my son and I appreciated all your input on the blenderized diet.
