I watched it also. Thought it was very well done, I learned alot about Ethel Kennedy and in fact another side of the entire Kennedy family in general. I admit I was waiting to hear about her feelings on the whole Marilyn Monroe thing, but nothing at all along those lines was mentioned. That's why I say it was a different side of the story we are used to hearing. Did you realize many of his children were so young at the time of his death? I didn't. But then there were 11 of them.

YEA! I love British programming and the BBCA just doesn't cut it.

I love this quote: Many millennials raised in the ­collect-’em-all culture (think McDonald’s Happy Meal toys and Beanie Babies) now prefer to live simpler lives with less stuff in smaller downtown spaces, far from the suburban homes with fussy window treatments and formal dining rooms that they grew up in. And another great quote that I should keep in mind about everything that I ever had or ever will receive: "(Your children) made these things (like nad-drawn pictures and boxes covered with macaroni) and gave them to you and you enjoyed them,” Roewer says. “The gift-giving cycle is now complete.” The other good point is asking myself why something is important to me, a vital question when it becomes tough to let unused or unnecessary things go. Great article. Thanks, Graywings!

Thank you for speaking up, Roarah. I agree that when we are faced with a health situation, we need to question our options carefully. I think of my friend who developed an excruciatingly painful blood clot in her leg a week before her due date. The medical professional she was working with was ready to prescribe her a blood thinner. Thankfully, my friend was able to think this one through and realized that she could have bled out during delivery. She was able to advocate for a better, safer option for dealing with the problem. It seems like it shouldn't have the patient that has to question everything, but sometimes that is what it takes to find a healthy, workable solution. I feel like I ought to give a disclaimer, saying that I don't agree with everything as it is presented in this series, such as the idea that all oncologists are simply motivated by money. I think many people go into the medical field because they sincerely want to help people, and they are using the tools that they have been taught about in medical school. Cancer is a situation that needs to be met with a lot of realism for sure. The options for treating it are fraught with difficulties, and also high rates of reoccurrence, whether "natural" or "allopathic". (Speaking from personal experience with friends and loved ones, here.) There are no easy answers. We have lost multiple loved ones to cancer. We also have a friend who was recently healed. I would like to ask her permission before sharing her story here. These are web sites that I have found helpful: Anti cancer mom Chris Beat Cancer I wish all that have to face cancer much love, support, encouragement, and grace from God. It is not an easy road.
