I Lost My Lady--The anguish of Losing a loved One

 I lost my lady two years ago today.


Definitely one of the worst days of my life.


She was a very good thing, a very positive thing in my life.


It is not fair that I am expected to continue without her.


Life is not fair.


She was such a good soul, I know she is in heaven ad I know she is happy and I know we will be together again--but the anguish and pain is still devasting to be without her.


Who will lick my wounds inflicted by my co-workers when I get home from work.


How will I have strength to continue.


She is my srength.


Yes, I am so grateful that I had her.


Yes, she gave me everything--she gave me her life.


There is nothing more one could ask from her.


She was a perfect creature--she would have easily laid down her life for me--no questions asked.


Thank you, God, for giving this great and wonderful creature to me.


My Coco Lu:


Thank you for everything--I will always love you.


I cannot wait until we are together again.


Coco Lu at Discovery Park in Seattle--My beautiful lady--Thank you for saying you would be my dog.



As caretakers how do we take care of ourselves?


We can acknowledge our very real and unending pain.


We can do soemthing nice for ourselves.


The Seattle Animal Shelter has a zoom meeting on Thursday afternoons open to everyone.


Listening to others talk about their beloved ones and their feelings was helpful to me.

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.
