Smurfs Log: Arghhh…. Fuck bureaucracy!
* While I am writing a message to the notary to correct two errors to sell my mother's house next week, I just noticed that the mortgage bank had also made mistakes in their documents...
All of this was likely caused by an error made by the Land Registry, which was later corrected after I filed a complaint two months ago…
So I just had to reschedule my tomorrow morning meeting to get things moving again... 😡

The Weather of Our First Reaching
In the luminous space between mother and child, attachment becomes the first language of love — a silent exchange shaping how we trust, connect, and heal. This reflection explores the invisible architecture of early bonds, where psychology meets poetry and the heart learns its first rhythm of belonging.https://thereflectivemind9.wordpress.com/2026/06/18/the-weather-of-our-first-reaching/

I explore the psychological necessity of routine and domestic labour for the elderly as a means of maintaining dignity and purpose through repetitive tasks that serve as vital frameworks that hold a person’s identity together.

#ThrowbackThursday 2022.
I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.
Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

For all who strive to live fully with dementia and all who offer support.

I wrote this for #caregivers w/my friend & healthcare expert, Ilyse Veron, a while back. One thing that strikes me as important but not always top of mind is that the person w/#dementia might be having an especially difficult day b/c they are in pain, physical pain. I think we are quick to attribute symptoms to neurological deficits when sometimes the problem is bodily. It can be hard to figure out but worth trying.

Words of reassurance left for an elderly lady with dementia by her daughter. A simple white board left in her sight line in her sitting room. Helped to reduce constant anxious phone calls.

Threads of Memory, Threads of Grace
Where nothing is done, yet nothing is undone.
Pause. Everything has been on pause, a hiatus to focus on more pressing matters at the present moment. I’m tired and rundown, but at the same time, I’m filled with energy to move forward, propelled by an unknown force to continue even in the most stressful moments.
If someone had told me what this year would bring, I wouldn’t have envisioned this would be how I’d handle things. It’s been a wild ride watching each moment unfold in my exhaustion. My patience may wane, yet there is a compassion behind the cloud of frustration, for this is life – a deeply mysterious and path-filled with suffering and craving.
Photo by Brett Sayles on Pexels.comI watch the veil of memory become clouded, in disarray, fleeting moments of fantasical, entangled thought dispelled by the light of the past as I guide awareness back to now through memory. I watch the partner’s frustration, fear, and anger arise, unable to cope with the reality of the moment.
My memories are also not precise. They often cloud the moment with judgment, diluting the magic of newness and casting shadows on my experiences, shaped by nostalgia, regret, or longing.
Yet love is unconditional and boundless, swaddling the loss, the hurt, the fear, and the pain, allowing a glimpse of the truth. The bigger picture, the heart of the matter, this entire journey, this life we live in, material trappings fettered away. In our most challenging moments, we discover our strength, understand hope, fully appreciate unconditional love, and know that this journey is rife with meaning.
There are moments when there is no longer separation between the doer and the deed, the actor and the act; it is all one. It is a miraculous dance of souls asleep to the true nature of being bound by karma, awakening slowly one by one, understanding the true nature of being in the meaning behind each moment. Moksha.
“Nothing is done, yet nothing remains undone.”
~Lao Tzu
I let go of the fleeting wisps of memory and touch the sacred, now unfurling with raw emotion, learning not to push away but to feel deeply the nuance, the realness, and the beauty of this life.

Born from personal experiences with memory loss, aging, and the emotional terrain of familial strain, this reflection explores how we hold space—for others and ourselves—when love is complicated and care is not always gentle.#aging #awakening #awareness #balance #caregiving #elderCare #experience #flow #healing #journey #lifePath #meditation #memory #memoryAndMeanign #memoryCare #mindful #mindfulness #moments #nonduality #poeticMeditaiton #practice #reflection #reflectiveEssay #spiritualWriting #traumaAndTenderness

Hilary for Charity is an amazing foundation, dedicated to helping caregivers whose loved ones have #dementia, created by Lauren Miller Rogen and Seth Rogen. I lead a support grief-- "Keeping Each Other Company: #Caregiving and Grief" -- focused on #grief, but there are many other groups. All are free and on Zoom.
If you are sad, angry, confused, lonely, whatever, these groups provide a space to share, listen, and even take a beat for a laugh.

If you watched the poignant special on Bruce Willis's #FTD and Emma Willis's experiences, and thought what Dr. Bruce Miller had to say was illuminating, you might want to check out these 2 books (one which he wrote with me).
Dr. Miller and Dr. Sturm, Mysteries of The Social Brain: Understanding Human Behavior through Science.
Dr. Miller and me, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain.

Sometimes #caregiving is about the chores: medications, money, meals, bathing, and more. But, in the quiet moments between the chores, it also can be about giving and sharing comfort, peace of mind, dignity, #kindness and love.

There is a machine near my head that’s beeping and I don’t know if I want to melt down in tears or throw it across the ER in annoyance. Not a good sign. #caregiving #EmergencyRoom

I'm honored to be talking this Friday about #caregiving, #grief, #dementia, and #FindingtheRightWords at the #Canterbury Senior Residence in #PalosVerdes. This book with #Dr.BruceMiller of #UCSF has many audiences, and we had all of them in mind as we wrote it. Those with #dementia and #caregivers are among the most important (#doctors and #litstudies people, #medhums, too), but we especially hope to reach the ones loving and caring everyday for people with dementia. #EndAlz
