Remembering Judi





Very sad news on Judi's blog @ Life as a Hospice Patient

http://judi-lifeasahospicepatient.blogspot.com/

She died on Saturday evening, she slipped off quietly after alot of pain and discomfort during the day.

So glad that I found her blog last year, reading her posts and finding out about the work she did soon made me appreciate and love her.

By summertime last year she was a good friend, getting a mail from her would make my day.

She was a wonderful woman who will be remembered by many.

I am so sorry to hear that. I found her blog through yours. I looked at it for a while. I must admit that with time, I did stop .. couldn't keep up on all the blogs I'd found.

She did seem to have had a grand life though. Until, she got so sick ...

I'll go read what was posted about her ...

It is sad that she is not alive anymore.
It was a huge shock reading on her blog that she was dead.
Funny how despite knowing that she was dying it was still such a surprise.
Hope tomorrow is a good day for you.
Keep warm.

Dear Herrad,
makes one sad indeed to hear about the loss of a friend. Yet, assume that she was able to live her life as much as possible, anything likewise to a hospice over here is unthinkable.

Hi Herrad - I read this post earlier today, just before BR's hospice intake. Judi's blog has been such a great resource for us as we wrestled with the hospice decision -- throwing light on a part of life few people take the time to document. She went peacefully and with a full awareness that she was approaching the end.

I need to keep reminding myself that hospice care doesn't define the amount of time a person has left. It just makes sure that person has what they need when they need it. And for that, I'm glad BR is now in hospice care.
