An incredibly uplifting Valerie Harper spoke with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts Tuesday, less than a week after she went public about her diagnosis of terminal brain cancer, with doctors saying she has as little as three months to live.

Valerie, speaking from Los Angeles via satellite, conveyed a clear message of living life to its' absolute fullest, and not to dwell in the sadness of death.

“Don’t go to the funeral until the day of the funeral -- live this day," said Valerie, best known for playing Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its’ spin-off, Rhoda.
