Laurie,
I hope you are feeling just a little better.
I've noticed this post is getting a lot of views, but few posts. Death and dying are still one of the subjects that makes people most uncomfortable. So, I am posting again. Trying to bump this thread into a more current status. Trying to encourage others to get past this taboo. Come on all you fellow low carbers - let's show some support - let's let Laurie know that she is not alone. I'm sure that there are none of us that has been spared the experience of losing a loved one. Pass on your words of wisdom, the ways you learned to cope, your support.
