[Air-L] blogs on death and dying for agnostics and atheists

[Stephanie J. Coopman]

Hi AoIRers!

My father was diagnosed 6 months ago with Stage III esophageal cancer. After one round of radiation and chemotherapy, he recently decided to enter hospice. He's a retired psychology professor and as a social scientist he's trying to gather as much information as possible about the process of dying from the personal perspective of an agnostic or atheist. He's most interested in finding agnostics and atheists facing death who are blogging (or have blogged) about their experiences. I haven't had much luck identifying blogs that fit this somewhat narrow parameter. He has set up a blog
http://agnosticsfacingdeath.blogspot.com/
in the hopes he can start a conversation with others in similar circumstances.

If you have any suggestions for specific websites, blogs, search terms, etc., please email me off list at sjcoopman at yahoo.com
