Hospice is now involved in my Nana's care.

I hope they are respectful, capable and empathetic.

Where were you when your world first shattered?

I was sitting in an auditorium at my Catholic high school listening to Jason Evert give a presentation on chastity. Not much has been the same since.

Most recently, when I was meditating in a Buddhist temple during Quan Yin's birthday and saw Shiva for the first time.

Most profound is in my bedroom when my first love broke up with me. Sounds typical, but I had a severe identity crisis and a brief psychotic break. sweatdrop

I'm keeping you and your Nana in my prayers.

On the school bus when one of my little brothers clasmates told me that my Papa (grandfather) had died.

I second this and offer that Hospice was wonderful in their treatment of my Grandmother when she needed them.

Sitting on my mom's bed as she explained to my ten year old self that I wouldn't be seeing my father for Christmas that year, unless you counted his funeral. Losing the one man I thought invincible broke my illusions of immortality.

Where were you when your world first shattered?

At school, checking my email, I broke down crying when I received an email saying they pulled my friend's body from the Rideau River.

Where were you when your world first shattered?

The first time, I was in a room after Christmas with my Father and Step-mother. We had just brought the ladder in the house so I could finally watch my little star-constellation-lightup-dome-thingy and it was explaing the constellations while lighting up to show the stars on my walls. It was telling a Greek story.

It hasn't, though it is teetering on the edge. I'm going to lose my sister due to incongruous philosophies and a deep apathy. I keep my mouth shut and my eyes adverted in shame and pity from my mother who does not realize that she has already lost her daughter.

Where were you when your world first shattered?

The first time? Sitting in a friend's room, telling him I couldn't go to prom with him because I wasn't interested in him like that, and wasn't even sure I was interested in boys like that. He said he could fix that.

The second time was when I put a name to what he did to me.

Where were you when your world first shattered?

1996 in our 4ft above ground swimming pool, on my Dad's back. When he didn't throw me off, I realized that something was wrong. I lifted his head out of the water and I heard him say, "Get me out of the pool." My neighbors and I pulled him out of the pool he told me to call '911'. He had broken his C4 because he dove head first into our pool. He is very fortunate to be alive and to be acting as a C7 now.
