Dear All.
I wrote this poem when my beautiful Granny started to drift away from us, losing her memories and no longer recognising us.
Kind Regards

What is the "Waving Not Drowning 1" Blog and who is it for?
This Blog site is part of the Greater Western Area Health Service Palliative Care and Cancer Services Supportive Care program. We serve rural NSW (Australia) communities such as Bathurst, Orange, Parkes and Forbes and their surrounding districts.
The development of this site was supported by Arts OutWest NSW Regional Arts and Health program.
This blog site is a place where palliative patients or their carers can get information or links to resources and support in their local community (and outside their local area)
This blog site creates an opportunity for people living with a chronic life threatening illness and the people who care for them to communicate to others in a similar situation by sending an entry which will be posted on the blog which others can read and respond too.
This blog is also for people who have experienced the threat of being diagnosed with a life threatening illness, survived and would like to talk about their experience.
This Blog is administered by James Daley Clinical Nurse Consultant for Palliative and Supportive Care: Greater Western Area Health Service. (Southern and Eastern sectors)
