It took CNN 1 month after her death to write about her.....

Eva Markvoort died of cystic fibrosis on March 27th. She blogged about her illness and dying but it was, for a good part of it, a celebration of life and had many, many readers. Her last post 2 days before her death was very grim though.

i'm at that point now
i'm done with the poetics
asking for help
my sister is helping me write
actually helping me write

the medications have been piling up
they are taking their toll
i am supersaturated with medications
i've been medically missing in action for two days
the docs started taking me off some of them to see how i would manage

and i am not managing
not managing at all

i'm drowning in the medications

i can't breathe

every hour
once an hour

i can't breathe

something has to change

cnn only cares about stuff like abortion, racism, and shit.

:mad::mad:

who is Eva Markvoort ? and who gives a shit?

Anyway, here's the proper way to write an obituary:

Quote:

DOUGLAS - A celebration of life for James William "Jim" Adams, 53, will be held at a later date.

He died Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2008 at Memorial Hospital of Converse County in Douglas.

Jim, who had tired of reading obituaries noting other's courageous battles with this or that disease, wanted it known that he lost his battle. It was primarily as a result of being stubborn and not following doctor's orders or maybe for just living life a little too hard for better than five decades.

He was born June 8, 1955 in Garrison, N.D. the son of James William and Ruby Helen (Clark) Adams.

He was sadly deprived of his final wish, which was to be run over by a beer truck on the way to the liquor store to buy booze for a date. True to his personal style, he spent his final hours joking with medical personnel, cussing and begging for narcotics and bargaining with God to look over his loving dog, Biscuit, and his family.

He would like to thank all "his ladies" for putting up with him the last 30 years.

During his life, he excelled at anything he put his mind to. He loved to hear and tell jokes and spin tales of grand adventures he may or may not have had.

He is survived by five sons, Jeremiah Adams and his wife, Nicole, Mica Olivas, Wade Olivas, Brice Simpson and Cole Adams; sister, Jerri Giegerich; two ex-wives, Vickie Harrison and Marilyn Williams; four grandchildren; two nieces; and two great-nieces.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law.

In lieu of flowers, he asks that you make a sizeable purchase at your favorite watering hole, get rip roaring drunk and tell the stories he no longer can.

Gorman Funeral Homes - Converse Chapel of Douglas is in charge of the arrangements

one of the few times i read an obit and wished i had the chance to meet the guy.

Young people die from CF everyday and have for decades.

Sad.... but I'm confused as to why CNN covered her at all?

I think it is because there is a documentary about her that is either going to air in the US soon or is going to be available on DVD soon.

Wow that's some really sad writing. At least she doesn't have to deal with the pain now. I wish more people would do this who have the ability to write.
