We Love You, Jody
Apr 22, 2016

Jody Schoger, co-founder of this amazing community, has now entered hospice care. The following was posted by her sister Megan McCready on Facebook today and is re-posted here with her permission:

Dear friends: my sister, Jody Schoger, is now in hospice care at home. There is no medical treatment available for her, and her liver is failing. She is comfortable and her hospice care has been excellent. Many of you have been friends of hers here on FB and Twitter, and you will be very distressed at this news. We (her husband, Steve, and I) understand. Just the same, we ask that you respect our desire for space and time to be with Jody now. If you would like to send a card, please message me and I will send her mailing address; that would be most welcome. We absolutely feel your love and prayers, and we are deeply grateful.

Please feel free to share this message with others who care about her who are not friends of mine here.

Megan was gracious enough to share her email address with those who wish to send their love to Jody:

Jody, I love you. I appreciate your warmth and remember when I first got to meet you at SXSW. I walked up to say, You must be Jody Schoger!" and you replied, "You must be Carmen". That tickled me because you made the immediate connection to our online Twitter acquaintance. Your compassion and clarity of writing on your blog helped me in understanding patients and in bringing insight to the human condition. Thank you dear Jody, for your wisdom and light. Peace to you.
