Eva Markvoort died of cystic fibrosis on March 27th. She blogged about her illness and dying but it was, for a good part of it, a celebration of life and had many, many readers. Her last post 2 days before her death was very grim though.

i'm at that point now
i'm done with the poetics
asking for help
my sister is helping me write
actually helping me write
the medications have been piling up
they are taking their toll
i am supersaturated with medications
i've been medically missing in action for two days
the docs started taking me off some of them to see how i would manage
and i am not managing
not managing at all
i'm drowning in the medications
i can't breathe
every hour
once an hour
i can't breathe
something has to change
