Yes what a remarkable First Lady and she really did advocate to change the attitude to women. It was a role she was willing to take on when some people did not want to listen.

Yes she taught us not to be ashamed and to seek help when we needed it.

Thank you for writing this great blog post.

So glad I came across this! As I sat at home and watched her funeral service on TV I reflected on the fact that most of today’s population does not realize that this ordinary woman did some extraordinary things and changed the course of lives of thousands of people… The mix of people at the service was also extremely interesting … people who were opponents politically were there as old friends. This lady was absolutely amazing in a way not matched before or since!

Betty Ford was a great lady who paved the way for so many of us. She not only helped women to speak out but anyone who has a problem and asks for help to not be shamed even when you are in the public eye. I wish all our politiicians could be so straight foreward and honest. Here”s to not voting for “mud slingers”!

This harks back to a simpler time, but one where it seems presidents had integrity. They seem like an ideal loving couple who happen to run the country. The betty ford centre is famous world wide, but i did not know about her hands on approach to topics and the media. Thank you for this insightful piece that highlights that nice ladies can be shown in a positive light in the media.

This is the first time I have read the comments on Betty Ford, she was a wonderful person and leaving a legacy of the Betty Ford Clinic has helped many. She was truly a wonderful person.
Thank you for presenting this Dr. Phil.
As an Registered Nurse it had always been my pleasure to assist addicts or alcoholics to a better place in life.
Again Thanks to the well loved Dr. Phil to take this opportunity for letting some more living individuals read about a wonderful lady. Betty Ford.

Betty Ford taught the world that anyone can start all over irregardless of who they are, where they are or how old they are. Addiction is the demon & not the addict.

Mrs. Betty Ford saved countless lives through the Betty Ford Centre. She was a hero, and a woman to look up to.

Betty Ford was inspirational. I watched her many at a time giving her opinions that I never saw before from a First Lady. Her actions opened doors for women (including my mom) to speak up and inquire what was best for them. I was sadden when Mrs. Ford pasted away. But the doors she open was not accidental but courageous. She lead the way for other First Ladies to be a partner with their husband’s in leading the nation. Instead of morning her pasting. We should celebrate Mrs. Ford presents that influenced our lives.
