Where the Veil Grows Thin

I cannot recall a time in my life lived without a dog, or multiple dogs.  Animals are the closest we ever come to unconditional love in this life. They are the very best therapists for those who grieve. This story, even though it involves tragedy, is beautiful for all the reasons anyone who loves animals already knows.  Thank you for listening to Where the Veil Grows Thin.   You can always get the...

I was asked once to sit in a busy cafeteria with an older gentleman who had just been told his cancer did not respond to treatment, and he chose to go home with hospice care. It could have been awkward and uncomfortable, but somehow, he made it easy. We felt a protective bubble around us and we just talked, uninterrupted, and as though we'd known one another for years.

When I walked into the office and learned that he had died, I had to leave. Join me now as I remember the impact one hospice patient had on my life 20 years ago. Even though I never met him, never spoke with anyone in his family and never...

When I was little I prayed that I would die before anyone I knew or loved because I was so sure I couldn’t bear the loss. I was sure that the enormity of the grief would swallow me whole or spit me out all chewed up, ugly and unlovable. I did not want to know that kind of pain.   Then, someone I loved died.    And I survived the pain, but grew just a tiny bit less naive. Still, I went on to think,...

Welcome to the culmination of a life.  I am grateful for your presence and appreciate you being here. I had intended for this introduction video to give you both the back story as well as what you might expect to find here as time goes on.
