Retirement after forty years of a fruitful nursing career is bittersweet. Hospice, community health, geriatrics, medical-surgical and college campus nursing experiences have taught me how to live and die successfully. For that I’m very grateful. Watching how others did or did not care for their physical body, thought life and spiritual condition provided me invaluable truths one cannot truly appreciate from a book.
I’ve made some of the mistakes my clients have and have suffered some of the same consequences thus reinforcing my observations. But I’ve sought solutions over the years, often found them, daring myself to have faith enough to believe I could have a better life if I choose not to go down the same road as the crowd.
Armed with faith, discipline and new truth, I’ve negotiated some physical, mental and spiritual obstacles with success and have helped others do the same. Having more time, it’s my pleasure and privilege to share more fully some of the things I’ve learned through the good, bad and ugly concerning death but more importantly, concerning an abundant life!!!
