About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I had my husband brought home to die. Palliative (hospice care) very rare in Thailand. I of course arranged for him to be as comfortable as possible. And he was. Neither of us wanted others around (apart from nursing staff for an hour a day, to ensure he was not in pain). Family and friends sobbing would have been bad. He had a gentle passing. If there's no one here for me, I'll just pull a trigger/medicate rather than a Godawful hospital death. His passing taught me s'easy :)

Hello to Thailand. Good decision i would have done the same for my family and i will for myself. Rather than put life in the hands of doctors and a sterile shit environment, it absolutely makes sense to be at home where the heart is, to be comfortable with the people that matter, before taking the next journey :) Live well Peace
