Blizzard | The Weeping Oak
https://weepingoak.wordpress.com/2015/02/02/blizzard
February 2, 2015. For days they warned us. That the snow would fall. That the winds would blow. That the world would come to an end. Kept us at home. To keep us safe. But they kept us away. And finally the snow did fall. And the winds did blow. But not so much. And the world did not come to an end. Because the phone rang. And the doctor said you were gone. You had slipped away. As the snow came down. And the winds blew. And our tears fell. They say more snow is coming. It is so cold. Every day of my life.

In Between | The Weeping Oak
https://weepingoak.wordpress.com/2016/05/24/in-between
May 24, 2016. I have been too often. In the place in between. I have watched too often. And I say don’t leave me. And then I see. So I say go. No, don’t go. Or you try but you are almost gone. And you stand in the garden. With your nose in a rhododendron. And I like to think you are smelling the flowers. That you are seeing their beauty. But I don’t know. Because you are my golden and you speak no words. Except with your heart. And I know you are standing by the rhododendron. You will be There. Follow Bl...

Beautiful Ugly | The Weeping Oak
https://weepingoak.wordpress.com/2014/10/18/beautiful-ugly
October 18, 2014. And so, I am sitting here feeling all the ugliness of cancer and dementia and loss in so many forms and my mother, my beautiful mother who I felt was leaving me a long time ago, offers me a gift in a moment of my complete despair.

An Unburdening | The Weeping Oak
https://weepingoak.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/an-unburdening
January 18, 2015. I didn’t want to tell you. I didn’t want to burden you. And thought that I should be strong enough. Because this is too much to carry. And so I’m going to tell you. How hard it is. To lie down next to my mother. To know her pain. To hear her try to speak and not be understood. To not know if she will hear my words. And so we look into each other’s eyes. And my eyes say I love you I love you I love you. And I imagine her eyes saying those words back to me. And I am helpless. Thank you fo...

Windows | The Weeping Oak
https://weepingoak.wordpress.com/2016/10/14/windows
October 14, 2016. This is dedicated to my dear friends and colleagues whom I have worked with over the years. I am going to miss you all so much! I work behind a closed door. In a room without a window. Except occasionally into someone’s soul. And I hope that I am getting it right. And there are moments of elation. When I think that Maybe. I made a difference. I helped or healed. Or simply sat alongside someone’s pain. And that was enough. But other days it is so hard. And I wonder,. I am no good. You ar...
