Nadin Naumann’s mother has the same type of brain cancer as Brittany Maynard. She is not choosing to die but to live as long as life is given her, and her daughter is grateful. Her experience is very like mine, bringing the same blessings, as painful as they are, which I wrote about a couple days ago in My Father and Brittany Maynard.

Brittany had stated that she did not want her family and friends to see her suffer, to see her at her worst. Well, I’ve now seen my mother at her worst–and I will tell you that’s still not comparable to not having her here at all. . . .

My mother had the bravery and courage to face this disease, to fight to stay alive and be here for as long as she can be.

She knew very well what the consequences could be if she decided to treat her tumor, but to her it was worth it. It was worth it to stay with the people she loved for as long as possible.

Whenever her time comes, she will die with dignity.

Bravo for her mother, and for her.
