I watched the movie on Friday night, at the very end talked about the health care system in this Country that does not pay for complimentary and alternative medicine. I don’t know if it did in Germany when she went first. May all the talk this week about health care something could be changed by the end of this year.

I truthfully hope this stops being a death watch….I applaud her for bringing forth her struggle as a way of raising awareness, but hope the media will leave her and Ryan alone so they can spend these last precious days together. 

My mother used to have a saying - "They’ll get theirs in the end"… Today, I simply look at a situation like this and think about their Karma and I think it’s easy to see who’s raking up the Karma points in this situation.

Farrah, you brought joy to many for a lot of years and even today you offer your story in an offering of hope. 

Mr. Nevius, there are things in this world more important than money, it’s too bad you don’t realize that.  Sadly, you’ll "get yours in the end".

I met Farrah and Ryan many years ago in Malibu, at a Mexican Restaurant-Fast Food combination, place.  I was talking with Ryan as Farrah approached, and she stopped cautiously when she noticed me, standing near the cars talking with Ryan.  She seemed to need to make sure I wasn’t some papparazi, or a freak fan.

As she stopped next to me, she gazed at my big, juicy burrito plate, and said, "Your food looks delicious, I am eating a vegetarian burrito."  I said to her, "Do you want to trade?"  She chuckled, and said, "I wish I could, yours looks so much better than mine."

Ryan was limping because he had injured his groin during a movie stunt, and I had to tease him a bit, of course…

I did finally ask them for their autographs, I just couldn’t pass up the chance of having their signatures on a really neat postcard, picture I had picked up.  As he was signing Ryan said, "Gee, we have the same names."  [Ro - R. O.]  I thought it sweet of him to say that.

I was consciously aware that I didn’t want to say their names outloud, because I didn’t want to have others come over and invade their privacy.  Looking back, I realize that must have seemed silly to them at the time.

They were both so gracious and friendly, and I feel blessed now, having met them.  I feel a kind of kindred spirit.  It may sound silly… but to me, it isn’t, it’s just the way I feel.

I am feeling such a profound sense of emotion as I watch the documentary, "Farrah’s Story."  This is one of those insane moments in human transitions which makes little sense to me.  Someone who wants so much to live… others simply throwing away their lives through suicide, or murder.  Life really isn’t always fair! Or kind.

Farrah, just know that you have definitely left your mark on the world, and there are so many people who have been touched by you and your life, in a variety of ways.  Namaste!  God Bless you, Farrah!

Susan, watch this from PBS: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/

Our nation has a great way to go before we can possibly become humane in medical care, and prevention, compared to the top 7 nations in the world that are wondrous, caring, preventive, and refuse to make their medical systems a market economy as the US does, yet even though they also fund spas, and relaxation, and rest they spend about 1/2 of the their GDP on healthcare as the US (because we farm out our health care to insurance companies, and drug companies and other for-profit ventures). They all said that our Medicare is excellent. It is.

To My Dearest Farrah and Ryan, I am praying for you both. You have brought joy and laughter to millions of people throughout your careers.  I know your pain and suffering (recovering cancer patient) and I will continue to pray for you to be at peace, with little to no pain, and for your children to be a source of strength for you both.  Your love has been induring and you have showed the world that no matter what else happens love can help you get through everything.  God Bless Deni

As a nurse I thought this was a realistic and straightforward informational piece.  To expose herself and decide to make her journey public was an enormous contribution.  For caregivers and family it was an upfront dialogue on what the road will be like for them and that is important. 

I have lost quite a few friends to the big C and the journey for each was different.  Chemo is devastating to the patient and to those who love him or her.  The road is harrowing and rocky and the toll for everyone is enormous.

  Farrah clearly is a poetic and strong woman and this is from her point of view.  Thanks, Farrah   …  I wish you, your family and friends, peace.  I hope your future journey is easy and peaceful.
