But losing a loved one would lead a person back to that place, to be a quiet volunteer, to help others through their travails... yes, I can see that well.<br /><br />Not sure how you feel about constructive criticism, but I'll suggest something anyway and hope you know it's done with love: If you change "the patient that" to "the patient who" the piece will be stronger and more submittable.<br /><br />This is a beautiful, thoughtful post, Rob, and bless you for it.<br /><br />I'll email you something you can relate to along these lines.

I am so proud of how you loved and cared for her. You gave her your all so now your loss is so very very great and so very very sad.Chapter Fortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005206439235137179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642588922402729816.post-28528410074205135452011-02-03T09:16:59.461-08:002011-02-03T09:16:59.461-08:00How very beautiful, but terribly sad, If this is ...How very beautiful, but terribly sad, If this is not a fiction, then I hope you find some peace after your loss.
