with me that she was exceptional
as a person and as a witness to
the dignity of life. She lived well;
she died well. That we all have
the courage to do the same. On
the home page of the website, I
scanned a copy of a bookmark
(included here) that was available
for everyone at the funeral. It had a
quote on the flipside of her picture
that captures Siobhns sense of life
and spirituality very beautifully:
Life should not be a journey to the
grave
with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside in a
cloud of smoke,
thoroughly used up, totally worn
out,
and loudly proclaiming:
Wow! What a Ride!
Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005)

This sense of living life to
the fullest is found, in one very
specific way, in video #3, the one
that shows her going skydiving!
She told me at the time that she
wanted to face one of her fears.
For me the hardest thing to deal
with, after the shock of her dying
so suddenly although we knew
her time was quite limited is a
continuing sense of absence that
pervades my being. Its ironic to
talk of absence containing so much
presence; but it does! Absence
for me right now is very real, but
presence is what defines so much
of Siobhns spirit of life because
she is so present to so many today
even though she has crossed over,
as they would say in India.
49
Wow! What a ride!

I often use the paradoxical
term dying to live when
speaking about her dying and death
because I believe she continues to
exist. We do not have any clear
images of what that existence
looks like; some people have their
religious convictions to provide
some comfort. But life does go
on albeit in an altered state of
existence (1 Cor. 2:9). When I was
a young person I was fortunate
to have a very wonderful father
figure, Geoff, a man with white
hair and white beard from Wales.
He and his wife, Marie, from
Ireland, were married for 50 years,
but had no children. I suppose in
some ways I was one of the many
young people who filled in the gap
somewhat. When he died in 2003
a family card with the following
poem was distributed, one that I
think also captures Siobhns spirit
so eloquently as well and which is
also on the website home page:
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When
you
awaken
in
the
mornings
hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
- Mary Elizabeth Frye, 1932

There are some in our
world who will argue that life after
death is like this or like that or
that death draws the final curtain.
Period. I use the term argue quite

deliberately. Such people feel so
sure of themselves but what gives
them away is their efforts at trying
to be persuasive. Shakespeare
said it well in Hamlet (III, ii, 239)
that these kinds of people simply
protest too much a protestation
which betrays and exposes their
doubts.

Like Siobhn, in no way
do I deny life after death. What
it is and looks like: Ah! Thats a
different matter.

A Final Update!
Dr. Michael Rock

Licensed Emotional Intelligence Facilitator
Professor (Adjunct, ret.), Ethics and Leadership
University of Guelph, Ontario
Simorgh Magazine, March 2014
In September 2012 I wrote an article called Tumbling

into Trust: Celebrating the Goodness of Life. It was
just after my daughter, Siobhn (a Gaelic or Irish name,
pronounced Chevaun), was diagnosed with ALS or
Lou Gehrigs disease. One of the more common forms
of what is known as Motor Neuron Disease (or MND)
is Lou Gehrigs disease or ALS (amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis) a neurological disease with seemingly
no cause or cure. The average lifespan is 3-5 years.
Siobhn died on January 12, 2014, after just 2.6 years
and left behind two wee ones: Ella, age 4.5 years old
and Dominic, age 2.5 years. The physicist, Stephen
Hawking, has had the disease now for more than 50
years, but he is considered an exception. Death often
comes with asphyxiation and/or pneumonia. One of
my medical friends described ALS as a pernicious
disease because not only does the patient feel helpless
physically but those around the person often also feel
so helpless. Mental faculties in the ALS patient remain
intact for the most part.

What I want to address here in this article
is the tremendous positive sense of spirituality and
inspiration that Siobhn lived, not only throughout
her life but also in her dying and death. Her continual
focus during these past 2.5 years was on how to get the
message about ALS out to the public, to make people
more aware of the disease. There is a lot in society
these past few years that we could call me-ism, that
60
is, a spirituality that promotes an all about me type

of thinking and feeling, often masquerading as selfactualization. But one thing we should keep in mind
is this: even though Abraham Maslows now popular
Hierarchy of Needs model had as its highest point
of development what he called self-actualization, a
little known piece of research that he wrote towards
the end of his life, however, has recently shown that
he believed that there was also a sixth need level: selftranscendence. This sixth level was an awareness of
ultimacy, of going beyond ones self-actualization
and self-preoccupations and being there for others.
True human fulfillment wasnt all about me but
transcended that narrow focus to include others, and
for some people, the Other, or what they understand as
God. To me Siobhn lived out her life at that level
and beyond.

She was a grade school teacher as well as a
fitness instructor for many years. She was just 42 when
she died. I recorded her journey for the 2.5 years that
she lived with ALS by designing a website legacy
for her, something that we had discussed and obtaining
her own domain name: www.conversations-withsiobhan.com. Who would have thought that someone
with so much to live for would be taken from us so
quickly. She told an interviewer in Edmonton, Alberta
one time that early in life she chose to be happy and
chose to live life being happy. In a similar way she told
me personally that she was also choosing to die well.
And that she did albeit her death was so sudden that
it took my breath away quite literally.
If you watch Siobhn in the stories on the website

about the many awards, the television interviews and
the ten videos that she was able to speak in to promote
awareness of the disease, I think you will agree
