Extraordinary writing. Everybody should have such a talented sister at the lectern on the day they're remembered.
She was a passionate writer as Steve Jobs was for Technology. He even read her books.
This line is so beautifully & hauntingly crafted. I wish I had thought to add her books to my reading list sooner.
I know it's automated, but still :/
I cried like a baby while reading the last part of this eulogy. It brought me straight back to a hot hotel room where I saw my uncle - a second father to me - die from brain cancer. Makes me want to donate more to medical research (my favorite foundation is SENS.org, but there are many good ones). I think it's okay to be sad, but we also have to do something to make things better.
OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW. One can only wonder what he was referring to. Such a well written piece.
For me I interpreted it as him being somewhat conscious as the feeling of your body dying comes over you and you pass. I have no idea what that would actually feel like, or if that's what happened/is possible, but the thought of being awake and experiencing that feeling gives me chills.
You can experience ego death relatively safely using various techniques, which science has shown is the same as a near death experience. This is covers most of the experience of dying, minus the last part.
