She was, and still is, inspiring.
Having worked the latter part of my working years in hospice, I know how important it is to discuss end of life decisions. Still, Mr. L and I had put it on the side burner for far too long.
That is why Maggie leaves an important legacy, both philosophically as well as legally.
We all know that we will come to that point in life when we have to face a tough decision. Talk it over with the people most important to you and make it easier for them to carry out your wishes.
Have that talk.

I copied many of Maggie's blog posts into Word so that I'd always have them. I'm grateful that she shared her final journey with us, particularly since she suffered a shocking betrayal that she never saw coming and met it with anger, resourcefulness (think Waiting to Exhale), generosity, and courage.

Many of her early blog entries were about taking care of her mother (and dealing with her mother's longtime companion, ugh--and yet beautiful Maggie was even kind to him!), and I'd say that for anyone with an aging parent, these are must-reads too.
 
Ah… Sweet MaggieD….early on in my noob phase, she took me by the hand, in a most warm and friendly fashion, then gave me a guided tour through this forum.

When her time came to cross over, I felt connected and at peace. Hahaha 😂 I still talk to her!

Very grateful this Special Thread exists 😍
 
Yes, what a woman. Reading her blog--the generosity in how she treated her mother's ungrateful male companion after her mother's decline and death, her courageous response to her Stage IV diagnosis and to the most cruel of betrayals, and her dignity until the end--remains inspirational. The blog is often occasionally hilarious. Love and admiration for Maggie always. 😿🌹
