Live Your Life...Life Your Life

 Some thoughts from this grief therapist on LIVING - not jut dying.  

Live Your Life...Live Your Life

Death, A Love Story

 This is a tribute to a longtime client who died in January after a two year cancer journey (she'd say, "battle"). She always said to me that if any part of her story could help anyone else, she wanted to be transparent about her life. I've changed names in this piece of course and omitted or changed some details.

I think people imagine I must have some wisdom from working in death and dying all these years, but I am taken off guard all the time, and walk around in some weird mixture of gratitude, joy, and sadness.

Bodies and Rest

This is a reflection on our rituals surrounding death - my experience both personal and professional.  I hope you find something comforting or some way to connect in these varied experiences.

Social Workers (and Teachers and Nurses, etc) Are Exhausted

 Trust is essential to civic life and MENTAL HEALTH.  Let's try to give one another the benefit of the doubt in 2022 and maybe we can make some progress.  Those of us in helping professions need it!

maggie and milly and molly and me - how Poetry helps me express my inner outsider

What sparks your creativity and the sense that you are connected to something bigger than your 'to do' list? Poetry does this for me and here's a little something I wrote about it. Maybe something to usher in the weekend. Happy Friday!

Being Divorced, My Way

 Thank you for reading my blog.  I hope this piece resonates whether you are married, single, divorced or widowed.  To my mind, it's really about what and how I've learned to navigate change and the uncertain path of life.
