Terminally Ill 29-Year-Old Brittany Maynard Dies With Assisted Medication In Oregon Over The Weekend, After Rethinking Her Plan [SEE OBITUARY]

Brittany Maynard, the woman who became the public spokesperson of the controversial right-to-die movement last month, died Saturday, Nov. 1 at home in Portland, Oregon. Maynard, who chose to end her own life was only 29 years old.

According to PEOPLE, Maynard wrote, "Goodbye to all my dear friends and family that I love. Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness, this terrible brain cancer that has taken so much from me … but would have taken so much more," She added, "The world is a beautiful place, travel has been my greatest teacher, my close friends and folks are the greatest givers. I even have a ring of support around my bed as I type … Goodbye world. Spread good energy. Pay it forward!"

MStars News previously learned that Maynard was only given six months to live back in April, after being diagnosed with brain cancer on New Year's Day. Maynard had stage 4 glioblastoma.

Maynard was a media hit after she advocated that she planned on dying under Oregon's Death with Dignity Act.

Maynard launched an online video campaign with the nonprofit Compassion & Choices, that revealed she would take a fatal dose of prescribed drugs from her doctor, when her she felt it was time to end her pain and suffering.

"My glioblastoma is going to kill me and that's out of my control," she revealed in her campaign video. "I've discussed with many experts how I would die from it and it's a terrible, terrible way to die. So being able to choose to go with dignity is less terrifying."

"Brittany suffered increasingly frequent and longer seizures, severe head and neck pain, and stroke-like symptoms," Sean Crowley,  spokesman for Compassion & Choices, stated Sunday.

"As symptoms grew more severe, she chose to abbreviate the dying process by taking the aid-in-dying medication she had received months ago. This choice is authorized under the Oregon Death With Dignity Act. She died as she intended - peacefully in her bedroom, in the arms of her loved ones," the statement concluded.

"One Day Your Life Will Flash Before Your Eyes, Make Sure it's Worth Watching

 Brittany Lauren Maynard was born in 1984 and forged a brief but solid 29 years of generosity, compassion, education, travel, and humor. She happily met her husband Daniel Diaz in April of 2007 and they married, as best friends, 5 years later in September of 2012.

 This past year, on New Year's Day, Brittany was diagnosed with brain cancer. She was given a terminal diagnosis for which there was no cure or life saving measures available. In the face of such terminal illness and pain, Brittany chose to live each day fully, traveled, and kept as physically active and busy as she possibly could.

 "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."- Theodore Roosevelt. A formula to live by, sick or well.

 After being told by one doctor that "she probably didn't even have weeks to be on her feet," she was found climbing 10 mile trails along the ice fields of Alaska with her best friend in the sunshine months later. "Speak your own truth, even when your voice shakes." she would say.

 Brittany graduated from UC Berkeley as an undergrad, and received a Masters in Education from UC Irvine. She believed in compassion, equity, and that people would remember most how you made them feel in life. As Faulkner said, "Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If more people all over the world would do this, the world would change."

 She was an accomplished and adventuresome traveler who spent many months living solo and teaching in orphanages in Kathmandu, Nepal. That single experience forever changed her life and perspective on childhood, happiness, privilege and outcomes. She fell in love with her time in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore and Thailand. She spent a summer working in Costa Rica, and traveled to Tanzania, and summited Kilimanjaro with a girlfriend a month before her wedding. She took ice climbing courses on Cayambe and Cotopaxi in Ecuador and was an avid scuba diver, who relished her time in the Galapagos, Zanzibar, Caymans and pretty much any island she ever visited.

 She loved her two dogs like family, a small Beagle and large Great Dane, and was always the one to take in lost dogs and find them homes. Brittany was a regular volunteer at a local animal rescue organization before her diagnosis."

Just a few days ago, Maynard admitted that she she wanted to live instead of die, as she began to rethink her decision.

"I still feel good enough and I still have enough joy and I still laugh and smile with my family and friends enough that it doesn't seem like the right time right now," according to the Washington Times.
