Saying Goodbye to Two Dear People Last Week

 Last week, two people close to me passed away.

One was the husband of my closest friend, and the other was my father’s younger brother (my uncle from my maternal side).

My friend’s husband suddenly passed away in his sleep from a heart attack, leaving everyone in shock and sorrow.

My uncle had been suffering for a long time from colon cancer and kidney dialysis. After overcoming several critical moments, he eventually passed away due to pneumonia.





The death of my friend’s husband came as a great shock. I visited the funeral home multiple times throughout the service to comfort my friend. She had lost consciousness briefly from the initial shock, and when she arrived at the funeral hall, her eyes looked dazed, which worried me a lot. Fortunately, she endured it well, and by the second day of the funeral, she had become much calmer compared to the previous day.

Then, the day before we were to go to the burial site, I received news of my uncle’s passing. I postponed going to my friend’s husband’s burial and hurried to the funeral hall in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do (Suji), where my uncle’s service was being held.

My father cried a great deal over the death of his youngest sibling. He wept at the funeral hall and again at the burial site. My heart ached deeply as well.

Watching our family members do their utmost to carry out the solemn funeral procedures with dignity filled me with gratitude and respect.

Even on the day of the third-day memorial rite (Samwooje), many family members gathered, and we held a warm ancestral rite to send off the deceased.

 May they rest in peace.

How I Structured Remote EDUCTOR Sessions to Support CSF Flow and Mobility inMy 90-Year-Old Father-Detailed Protocol Breakdown

Image
  Introduction At 90 years old, my father faced severe challenges with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, leading to gait instability, reliance on a cane, and profound fatigue. After conventional medicine deemed surgery too risky due to his age, I began remote EDUCTOR sessions almost daily for two months. What made the difference wasn’t one single protocol, but a careful, adaptive sequence based on real-time biofeedback readings. Below is the broad structure I followed—tailored daily to his VARHO scans, energy levels, and reported sensations. All sessions were virtual (remote mode). While the goal was to keep sessions short for an elderly client, in reality they often ran longer—sometimes much longer. At 90, rectification or clear percentage improvements frequently took extended monitoring before appearing. When the readings weren’t shifting quickly, I remained patient, continuing the protocols gently while watching for even subtle changes. This extended “holding space” time turned ou...

My 90-Year-Old Father’s Improvement with Remote EDUCTOR Sessions: Our Family Biofeedback Story

Image
   Introduction At 90 years old, my father had always trusted conventional medicine. He regularly visited a major hospital in Seoul because doctors said his cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow was not circulating well. The doctors advised him to walk a lot to improve circulation, so he faithfully walked more than 2 km from home every day.                 A picture of My parents two years ago However, over time his walking became more difficult. Eventually he needed a cane just to move around. Last December, hospital doctors told him that his CSF flow had become severely restricted and that surgery might be necessary. But because of his age, they felt the operation would be too risky. I am his daughter and live in a nearby city about a 30 minute drive from my parents. When I spoke with him on the phone, he sounded deeply discouraged. “I don’t feel like I’m really living anymore.” His energy was gone, and he seemed to have lost the motivation t...

Toji’s Quiet Struggles and My Deepest Love

Image
 Our rabbit, Toji, turned 9 years old this year. Last year, she had spay surgery (uterus removal). She was doing well afterward, but recently she has been struggling with occasional digestive problems. Some days she eats well and runs around energetically, but then suddenly she can’t eat anything and seems to be in a lot of discomfort. Just two days ago, she went a whole day without eating, with her belly full of gas. She had the same symptoms about four months ago, and now it has happened again. Toji hunched up and completely still… my heart aches seeing her like this. Even her favorite food sits untouched… Toji has no appetite today. The next day, we took her to a rabbit-specialized hospital. Since coming back, she is eating well again, but my heart aches thinking about how scared and stressed she must have been from the injections and the hospital visit.  Remembering how much she suffered during last year’s surgery makes me feel even more heartbroken. Since then, my love an...
