Comfortdoc on Squidoo

It is with great sadness that I have to report that the inspirational Dr. Randy Pausch has lost his battle with Cancer. He died on July 25, 2008.

Dr. Randy Pausch was one of our featured SuperHero Project Lenses, for his head-on, straight-forward, entertaining and motivational approach to facing the diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer. If you don’t know, he was the Professor who delivered the inspirational “The Last Lecture” that was turned into a number one best selling book.

I had a strong feeling that since his personal web page hadn’t been updated in nearly a month, that things were not going well. I had been checking for updates since making the SuperHero Lens.

I’ve updated all three lenses that I have for Dr. Randy Pausch to reflect the sad news. This includes the SquidWho lens on Randy Pausch for and the SquidLit lens on the Last Lecture the Book.

We have lost a great spirit and great teacher in the passing of Dr. Randy Pausch, but his legacy will live one.

My thoughts are with the family.

Loss, Grief and Bereavement - Number 1 in Health 

My Loss, Grief and Bereavement Lens has finally made it to the # 1 spot in Health and Medicine. The lens has been the top spot in Health and Medicine since May 29, 2008.

It has not been an easy task, since Frankster’s Long Term Care For People You Love lens is on another important topic.

I am really very happy about the lens getting to the top of the health topics.

This is quite an accomplishment for me if you consider I’ve spent more than 10 years trying to get the medical profession to recognize that Loss, Grief and Bereavement are issues that impact people’s health and well being.

Thanks to all who visited and voted.
