Thinkativity :I'm at the very tailend of my doctoral studies now. I'll be submitting my dissertation for assessment this weekend. My parish priest asked me last night (because I've been ranting and lamenting to him), "Hey, are you struggling with the finality of it all, because it feels too final and terminal?" By golly, he's right.

Dear Sherman,
I remember feeling this way at the end of my Masters thesis. I could not describe the feeling very well until the several years later when my father was dying a slow death from Alzheimer's disease. I was grieving in advance for what I was loosing and fearful of the future and its changes. While at the same time I was to rejoice at dad's healing in heaven. It is a strange mix of loss, relief, and joy.
I will pray for you in this time of change.
Russ
