She had the first stroke in August of 2006 and there was just no fixing it. It took almost four full years to complete the process and believe me, she was afraid to die. She clung to life with a frightening tenacity and her suffering was almost unspeakable. At first, I was determined to "fix" things. Then, when I understood that, at some level, she had made this choice and it was my duty to "talk her through", that's what I did. Those phone conversations with my mother, explaining to her the process of dying, what she should realistically expect and what to do, were about the hardest I've ever had in my life. I didn't even try to not cry, I cried freely and she cried with me. I told her that I didn't like it, that I wished I knew what I now know about diet years ago when it could have helped her. We just talked about everything that needed to be said, but I made sure that I kept to my promise to try to make it as easy for her as possible. I told her that when she passed, she would be able to come to me in an instant, and she did. She was here in the house for about a week and we communicated with her before she "went into the light." In fact, we helped her with that, also.

Really wonderful to see these community C sessions. I live in Framingham, MA and would love to meet the MA crew at some point. It has been a hope of mine to get together with others "in the know" so to speak as I have grappled with processing all the earth-shattering info that Laura and the Cs have imparted over the years. I consider it to be the most important information that I have learned in my lifetime and a "level 1 directive" that I found it at all. I don't know if there is a section for "networking" but would really like to get in touch.

This is so very touching to me what you did for your mother, Laura. I`m struggling with the recent death of my father. I think I could of done more in the way of talking to him about dying and maybe I could have helped him in his passing the way you helped your mother. I was so caught up in being angry with him. I haven`t cried a tear for him. I wish I could. I feel ashamed that I didn't do more for him and for feeling the way I do towards him.

Laura said:(Menna) And Laura, thank you for recommending the book [When the Body Says No by Gabor Mate]. It's helped me.
(L) Oh, I'm tellin' ya! That book was torture for me. I've rheumatoid arthritis, and I had all these female problems, and my kids have got autoimmune conditions... I saw me, I saw everybody around me, I saw everybody I know, and I said, "Oh my GOD! We are all SCREWED!!" [laughter] We gotta read this book and get over it! Okay, so ya'll have a fun time. It was great seeing everybody and ya'll look really wonderful. Alright, nighty night!
