Dedicated to Cleveland Amory Sherwood 1998 – September 20, 2011. The best cat ever!
I started to write this post a couple of weeks ago. Since that time I have had to carry out the excruciating decision to euthanize my sweet tabby cat Cleveland due to the ravages of cancer. Cleveland died only 2 ½ months after his diagnosis. It spread through him like a bush fire. I was his nurse throughout this ordeal. Being his care giver was both an honor and a heartbreaking experience. The articl... Continue reading ...
Loss, Grief & Workplace Bullying - Recovering From The Pain Nobody Wants To Talk About

Loss
These days I find myself being contacted regularly by people wanting counselling and coaching to deal with the pain of workplace bullying. By pain I mean the psychological, emotional and spiritual hurt that comes from being abused and scapegoated on the job. This is a trend that reflects a 'crisis of civility' in the work world, but also, more encouragingly, the growing reluctance of people to allow themselves to subjecte... Continue reading ...
Care Giver Grief - Part 3: Loss of Choice & Cancer Treatment Options

Over
the past couple of weeks I took some vacation time. This was planned.

TLC, rather than toxic chemotherapy or the fires of radiation. Not that
these treatments haven't been a life saver for many. But the fact is,
the more I study up on cancer treatment, the more I am l... Continue reading ...
Care Giver Grief - Part 2: Dealing with Loss & Uncertainty

Loss
In my previous post I wrote about my cat Cleveland who was recently diagnosed with cancer. As his principle care giver I have many difficult and unclear decisions to make about the kind of treatment to opt for and how to care for him on a day to day basis. I am also living with not knowing if the choices I am making will help or hinder him. Hardest of all is not knowing how long he may live - weeks, months or years. Uncertainty is the constant theme in the job of the care giver. This is ... Continue reading ...
Care Giver Grief - The Losses of Daily Life & 'Anticipatory' Grief

Today I took my beloved tabby cat Cleveland for yet another surgical intervention to deal with his severe chronic respiratory disease. He's a brave, loving and determined little fellow who has just barely bypassed the grim reaper on several occasions. This time his vet is looking for everything from a fungus infection to cancer. Cleveland's life started out rough in a wealthy but unloving home where he was unwanted, to abandonment at a 'No Kill' shelter where we found each other. He is no... Continue reading ...
