Thanks for sharing your loss and your experience of grieving via your newletter. My condolences. In addition to sharing your grief, I am reminded of how I felt as an “expert” physician, both when my own illness struck and when I cared for my mother at the end of her life–the hat I wore as a physician was an awkward fit when I was a patient and a son. But wearing it helped me to see more deeply into my work as a doctor–all for the best.

Keep up your wonderful work.

I vividly recall the wonderful letter you wrote after my Dad passed away. Grief is a solid reminder of the love we have for those we love. I was honored to spend 9 mos. between New Brunswick, Canada and SC while my Dad was ill. The times spent were sad and to have had this time to say goodbye was wonderful. Remain in your thoughts and be kind to yourself through this process. Christmas will be difficult as will birthday’s of loved ones. Sharing stories are a wonderful tribute to those we love and know that many people are walking this road with you. Thank you for all you do for so many. I have frequented your website often for friends.
I was a Hospice volunteeer and have learned through your wonderful booklets that grief takes time… may you laugh and cry knowing the special relationship you had with your Dad is still with him.
