30 days to live

Jim and Maralyn were missionaries in Europe from 1998 to 2007, teaching at a university in Belgium and more recently Finland. Maralyn was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease) and they decided to return home to both retire and battle this illness.

Over the last year, Maralyn has chronicled her journey with ALS and as her doctors reports and physical symptoms continued to worsen throughout the year, her online thoughts became more challenging and inspirational.

In her most recent post, she shared her doctor believed she has less than a month to live.

I would encourage you to read through some of her stories, in particular her most recent post on going through the process of knowing you're going to die within a month.

It's amazing.
