The Most Tragic Loss of All, That of a Child
Gary Direnfeld
OCTOBER 3, 2022
I want to speak to those who have lost a child. That child could be of any age. The child could be pre-born. The loss could even be of fertility. These are losses without resolution. A grief without end. Despite the when, why or age, the loss is not just of the child when it happened.

Some Things Just Suck To Do….
Gary Direnfeld
OCTOBER 3, 2022
It’s interesting. The fact that I don’t actually enjoy my cardiac rehab excercise seems to upset some people, including my coach at the program.

It seems some may think those things we must do, must also be enjoyable or at least neutral. To me that is unrealistic.

The child went on to explain how the preferred parent was better than the other. Once told, the child settled. I thanked the child and complemented on being able to share their information.
