On death and dying..
A little over a month ago, a friend who I have known for a long time lost his mother after a long battle with cancer. I had drafted a blog entry which had gone through many revisions and was hard to write so I never posted it and parked it away. He and his wife are having a rough time dealing with the loss of his mother and mother-in-law. Many years ago, I heard a radio interview with Elizabeth Kubleur-Ross on death and dying. My mother has often talked about a book that Ms. Kubleur-Ross wrote on death and dying and the various stages that the terminally ill patient with experience before expiring. I got the book out of the library the other day so that I can help S deal with the loss of his mother. The book is written from the patient’s as well as the family’s perspective. In the future, I’ll look back at this entry and hopefully post and my thoughts on the book.
A new month…
Today, I had to roll my calendar over to a new month. I’m looking forward to March as it will soon start to warm up and I can finally peel down to my base layer for training. I always look forward to doing 1km intervals along the canal and I should be able to get in a couple of speed and span class=”blsp-spelling-error” id=”SPELLING_ERROR_0″fartlek/span workouts over the month. At the midpoint of the month, I have a long weekend winter camping/hiking trip in the Adirondacks with the outdoor adventure club at the Univ. of Ottawa. My snowshoes will finally have a chance to ascend a mountain. Hopefully by that time I will have had a chance to get a new span class=”blsp-spelling-error” id=”SPELLING_ERROR_1″thermarest/span and all-season sleeping bag. I hope that my work-work slows down a bit as my overtime is affecting my running schedule. I am also getting headaches from staring into my flat screen monitor too much but the product have to come to market as quickly as possible. I have had to put a couple of things on hold in February which I’m looking forward to doing in March. It will be the final four weeks of classes but I span class=”blsp-spelling-corrected” id=”SPELLING_ERROR_2″growned/span last night when I saw that my exam was scheduled for the last day of exams.
1st post and third blogger blog…
Welcome…br /br /This is my third blogger blog and it is an experiment to see how a blogger blog compares with a myspace blog. As well, I’m curious to see how a blogger blog compares to a Wordpress blog. I tried to use the Wordpress free blog last week and sort of have mixed feeling about it. The plan is to try a blogger blog for a while and see how it goes.
