“Ask Me Anything” – Host Q & A on ALS, Life and Death
I asked my listeners for questions and they delivered! Fun questions, serious questions -- so I'm bringing the answers in this first Host Q&A episode.
This episode was created by YOU, the listener. Listeners sent in questions and I answer as many as possible in 30 minutes. I'm so grateful for all the questions that came in, some light and fun - some deep and serious, some that really made me reflect and others that made me cry. I love that my listeners feel comfortable asking me anything. This was such a special experience. Thanks for letting me share. I hope you enjoy.
Hugs, Lorri
About Lorri Carey
On Friday the 13th, February 2004 at the age of 37, I was told I have ALS. I’m dying from ALS, yet I’m so encouraged to live life to the fullest. I’ve been inspired by so much to stay focused on the positive. I’m dying to tell you about what gives me strength, makes me smile and keeps me hopeful – in hopes of inspiring you too!
My best friend passed Way from ALS last year but she was 68. She was like a mom to me really. She was diagnosed in 2018 and it took her fast. Are there different forms of ALS? You were diagnosed in 2004. How have you managed to keep the fight going? You are a true inspiration to many and my heart and prayers are with you and your family. Keep fighting!!!
Shanna, sorry you lost your best friend to ALS. I have read that researchers are identifying over 100 different “strands” of ALS which is why many present differently.
I keep my eye on the blessings I have in life and listen to God’s nudges on how to best live this life I have. I appreciate you listening and taking time to reach out.
Thx so much. Hugs, Lorri.
You are such an incredible soul Lorri. I am blessed to be able to listen to you and your story. What a great podcast! Loved learning how you and Paul met. Sending love and hugs to both you and Paul.
Thx for chiming in Debbie and being with me on this new podcast journey and always supporting our family in our ALS fight! I appreciate you & all you do for the ALS community. You are such a blessing!
Hugs , Lorri.
Lorri – What is up, I am glad I came across this spot. It looks like you are a huge inspiration and I am so glad to see all you do. Your boys look like quite the young men. You and Paul look like you have done a wonderful job. We had some good times back in the day you always made meetings more fun. Would love to hear back on my email. My oldest is down at Miami, Oxford is a great place
Peace to you guys.
