Shortly before the end of last year, Elizabeth sat down with Minister and Professor of Pastoral Care, Dan Bagby, from Baptist Theological Seminary of Richmond, VA. The interview covered how Elizabeth is dealing with her terminal cancer in the light of her family, friends, church and her two children.
Elizabeth's direct and candid responses are meant to impart a sense of understanding, encouragement and hope for those traveling this same end-of-life path as she is or for ones who are companions to those experiencing their last weeks or months of life.
Dr. Bagby's responses assist in setting Elizabeth's individual experience in the larger human experience we all share of mortality. It is a bridge we shall all cross, but one that can be done with a sense of purpose and dignity for the individual as well as the family and community of which each of us is a part.

This is the first of six blog posts that cover the discussion Elizabeth had with Professor Bagby. In her next post, Elizabeth discusses how friends and family have assisted her in this time.
