"The act of taking my own life is not something I am doing without a lot of thought. I don't believe that people should take their own lives without deep and thoughtful reflection over a considerable period of time. I do believe strongly, however, that the right to do so is one of the most fundamental rights that anyone in a free society should have. For me much of the world makes no sense, but my feelings about what I am doing ring loud and clear to an inner ear and a place where there is no self, only calm. Love always, Wendy."

"When I am dead, and over me bright April

Shakes out her rain drenched hair,

When rain bends down the bough.

And I shall be more silent and cold hearted

Than you are now."

Though living is no newer."
