MARINA'S KITCHEN ----PUMKIN RISOTO

My Dog Died--Should I Go To Work?

 The age old question.


I am suffering beyond belief--does anyone care.


Do I have the right or expectation to call in sick over the death of my beloved companion.


Will I be repremanded--should I just make something up.


Do I really want to share my grief with my co-workers--is it their business.


Working in the healthcare field we are giving our energy and emotion to patients and the needs of our co-workers.  We always have to be aware of being polite and saying the right thing, not being offensive in any way while we stand up for our own position.


Are we really taking enough time for ourselves and our needs.  What makes us tick.  Is it my beloved baby boy who I go to home and walk every day after work and my life turns into lo love, exercise peace and entertainment.


This lovely individual




is gone but does anyone realize he was the key to my happiness.


What about me.


Will I survive.


As healthcare workers we have to focus on our own emotions, what makes us tick as an individual and how in the world we we grieve the loss of our beloved.
