My first book, Transitions: A Nurse’s Education About Life & Death, tells a larger story (of my education) from several short stories (of my patients) and how I learned patient after patient, more about Life and Death. There’s humor and inspiration and some heart wrenching sharing.

Can anything bless us more than devotional time with our selected readings and our prayer

time? Recently, within the past couple of years I have started daily meditation during my

devotional time. Wow!!

I am such a chatter!! It’s been a huge discipline for me to ‘be still’!!  But oh the reward!!

Think I’ll head there now!! Blessings to all this day!!

One very warm July day my daughter and I were setting out front of the hospital. We were coming to the realization after 16 days that my son was not coming home.  I turned to her and said, “I think we need to call Becki.” With relief in her voice she said, “I think that’s a very good idea.” We made the call, Read the rest of this entry »

Becki gave me an opportunity to tell the story of my near death experience when I contracted polio in childhood.  Being able to share this with Becki validated my experience and strengthened my faith that I was not alone.  I am grateful to have had this opportunity to share this with someone who has been on the ‘front lines’ of death and dying.

How does one write a little bit about someone who has done so much for so many? Here is my humble attempt.

I know that all of us in our little town have always looked forward to her “Beyond Statistics” articles in the weekly paper to lift our spirits and let us be part of the experience, by allowing us to read about her story and to cry with her as we read her “words of wisdom”.
