This touched me in so many ways!!! You put it all out there so perfectly with words.
I'm so happy that others get to experience your voice in words... your wisdom shared in words. I wish you could sing this whole essay for us !!!!! I'm sharing it with everyone I know!!!!
Thank you Darcey for the "opening day" essay. Love it!!!!
This brave and courageous essay is an important reflection of what so many of us have encountered when our body sends signals that something's coming and the world insisting otherwise. This relatable story of how the writer's dog comes to comfort in the same way we she has been comforted in moments of fear demonstrates the beauty and importance of such mutually supportive bond. Congratulations, Catherine for inaugurating this space with your wisdom and words!
Catherine, thank you for sharing this. I am a dog trainer in Rochester, NY and suffer from severe PTSD due to several traumatic episodes in my life as a young boy. My dog truly my saving grace, he senses my emotions well before I do. He jumps up on my lap and wraps his front paws around my arm as he is giving me a hug, If I am laying down he presses his back up against me as I hug and hold him closely. Our animals understand our pain to much great depth than we will ever understand. They are so much more intuitive to our needs. Thank You for sharing your journey with us.
The dog, the kid, the cancer--I can definitely relate! Such an engaging and reflective style, congratulations on being the first to be published on Wisdom & Words :)
Oh Mark, thank you for sharing this. How truly lucky we are to have these intuitive and loving furry family members. The bond is like no other. If only people could be as attuned as pups are. I’m so glad this story resonated with you and really appreciate your kind words. Much thanks.
