One of her points is, those in medicine (and anyone else) who try to protect themselves from being hurt for one another shield themselves from being able to feel joy--they are flip sides of the same coin.<br /><br />Of course there will be grieving when they lose a patient. That grieving must be acknowledged and supported, not made to feel like an enemy, not by dehumanizing the caregivers in trying to protect them from caring.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335466019866048137.post-71906633533775922252010-03-11T12:33:28.645-05:002010-03-11T12:33:28.645-05:00I love it too Momo! xoxoI love it too Momo! xoxoJodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002966932102716684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335466019866048137.post-34235928170149302342010-03-11T06:59:29.961-05:002010-03-11T06:59:29.961-05:00I just can't imagine anyone not falling head o...I just can't imagine anyone not falling head over heels for your kids immediately.

I love how you tie your children's NICU situations in to your school experience.<br /><br />I have always been a big proponent of small schools. Being in a huge public school system, I jys have no idea how they can really "bond" and care for our children.<br /><br />I miss the small local school days.<br />:0)<br /><br />Lisa<br />www.warriormama.comLisahttp://www.warriormama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335466019866048137.post-87637421086868559782010-03-10T18:55:44.597-05:002010-03-10T18:55:44.597-05:00I didn't realise what a double miracle you wer...I didn't realise what a double miracle you were blessed with - must have been hard to have two premmie babies.

She weighed 2.5lbs. The Dr. said, "Wrap that baby up and hold her, she's not going to make it." Grandma replied, "There's never been one to die in this house, and there won't be." They wrapped her in a blanket, put her in the seat of a rocking chair by the fire, and Grandpa rocked it with his foot. <br />She turned 70 on Valentine's Day this year. Mother talks about this often, and Grandma referred to her as the tiny one all her life.<br /><br />UPUPhttp://www.rednecklatte.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335466019866048137.post-7129073443652669282010-03-10T09:04:19.821-05:002010-03-10T09:04:19.821-05:00I love this and I too am so happy to have found a ...I love this and I too am so happy to have found a great network of new friends who are more like family :) Thanks for sharing.Citizen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358313277475153244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335466019866048137.post-15931160851367785012010-03-10T08:43:56.592-05:002010-03-10T08:43:56.592-05:00It takes a village.It takes a village.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310994156273091597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335466019866048137.post-48780438097057717112010-03-10T08:21:51.848-05:002010-03-10T08:21:51.848-05:00We share so many values.
