Grief is a multi-faceted response to loss. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has a physical, cognitive, behavioural, social and philosophic...

This forest is awesome. It is cool and a little dark where we walk - the sun filters through above - it is magical. The trees wrapping around one another as they grow. I would like to live in this forest. I could use SOMETHING wrapping around me:) It's a little like a wonderland - I expect pixies to leap out at any point - Heinze loves it too. I wish the deer...

I finally contacted the person at the hospital that makes all the decisions on what happens, and asked her about support groups for parents that have lost their children. She said it was funny that I was bringing that up b/c they have just decided to do just that and had someone in training to be able to be head of the support group and she would keep my name and number so that if they need someo...
Monday Morning; "The Start of a New Life" Well......all is done. Mom's funeral, burial, her bills are paid, furniture moved out, etc. Now begins my new life. I'll never forget mom, or my dad (he died in 1982), but mom's death made a change in me. I'm going to treat myself, Margaret and others better. (Not that I've ever been hurtful to anyone) I joined a gym...
As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...
Ok, I meant to write this sooner, but I just got around to it. My procrastination sucks sometimes. Anyhow, last Sunday my daughter got invited to my friends daughter's birthday party. It was at an ice rink and they did bumper cars on ice. It was so neat. I have never seen anything like that before. Needless to say the kids had a blast, and even some of the adults. Hee hee. Yes, I t...
I am feeling more optimistic today than I have in awhile. I went back to the RE on Sunday and then today. I have 8 good follies total. I have 4 on each side and they are measuring 16-17 each. My lining is 9.6 and everything looks good US-wise today. I am still waiting to hear about my estrogen but it did jump from 75 to 375 from Thurs to Sun so I think that is good. The nurse told me to come back...
Im in tears right now, I have to share this and you all are the only ones who will understand how powerful this is. I finally got some strength to start cleaning out my closet where so many of Shannon's things are. My clothes also are just stacked so high because I always gave her so many of my things. I found a place to donate my things that go right to the people who need them. I have been ...
Today, January 25th, 2009 I celebrate my 22nd year being sober as a recovering alcoholic. Through AA and a lot of help from friends and strangers I am sober today. My soberity date is January 25th 1987. My life has been turned around and I have never forgotten where I've come form. It took many tries before I finally became sober. I am very grateful to many peopl...
