[Everything But the Girl’s Amplified Heart* on the stereo]
“…And I don't need reminding
how loud the phone can ring
when you're waiting for news…“
Flashback to 5 hours earlier:
Sweetie: Mia? Mia? Wake up, Mia. Come on. Wake up.
Mia (pulling eye shade off her face to rub eyes): Huh? Huh? What is it?
Sweetie: It’s your cousin on the phone. He wants me to wake you up.
Mia sits bolt upright in bed and reaches for the phone.
Mia (in a sleepy voice): Hello?
“I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
and past your door,
but you don't live there anymore.”
*lyrics by Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt

This blog explores my professional experiences and personal feelings as I have worked with people who are in the last chapter of their lives. I dedicate this blog to all of these people who have each taught me something new about life and about myself. The stories in this blog, however, are all fictionalized. Any resemblance to real life people and circumstances is purely coincidence.
