I, too, believe everything happens for a reason, and having lost one of the most important people in my own world to cancer nearly five years ago, I know what a great difference a caring person can make at the end of things, to everyone.

Your blog is positive and upbeat and when you do not like a book, the criticism is insightful not vitriolic. I am sure this is how you are in real life too.<br /><br />I cherish the stamp story and look forward to similar stories on your new department. Have fun at RWA!

It is always nice to work in a job you enjoy and for an employer you can respect and support. <br /><br />My father died in October 2008 - he'd had some mini-strokes over Christmas 2007 and got some dementia and couldn't live alone any longer, then he fell and broke his hip and, then he forgot he'd broken his hip (because of the dementia) and fell again and broke his leg and then had a heart attack on the operating table and then got a pressure sore on his foot which never healed and got very nasty. He eventually died peacefully in his sleep but it was a pretty rocky time and I appreciated compassionate help when it was offered. We were quite lost and needed help to navigate the aged/health care system to make sure he was getting the best care possible, especially because he couldn't advocate for himself.<br /><br />I think your clients will be very lucky to have someone like you to help them - someone with compassion and the life experience of losing a loved one after a long illness, who will treat everyone in the family with care and respect.Kaetrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936055488367251592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-65355972028924500972010-07-23T22:13:41.866-04:002010-07-23T22:13:41.866-04:00Congratulations!

When my mom was dying, her hospice nurse was incredibly kind and helpful, and made things easier for us at a really tough time.
