in The outpouring of love for Randy Pausch on Pleasure and Pain
Whitney, this is the first account I've read of someone who was a student of Randy Pausch. What an interesting perspective; thank you.


When I was accompanying my father on his end-of-life journey, I learned what Randy Pausch showed us: that death is a teacher and a friend. Here are three things it taught me about how to live:

Live your life so you have no regrets.

Acknowledge the presence of those you love, and honor your spouse or partner, your children and your friends because you may not have another day to improve the quality of your relationships.

Admit to yourself that life is fleeting and all things as we know them will come to an end; then out of the awareness of the endings, create new beginnings.

When we accept that life doesn’t go on forever, every day becomes more precious. I’d like to share my positive thoughts on facing death with others at www.shiningmoments.net.

I am so happy Randy has given a new face to death and dying, as well as life and living. Thanks to him, many people will find the courage to face the fact that death is a part of life.
