Light passes through orbital bone, socket of eye, the world her child sees but doesn’t yet know, masses outside the gate.

“I have worked with Suzanne in the care of her child and have been impressed with her ability to articulate her emotional and intellectual journey through the various stages of her daughter’s illness. I have heard and read her poetry – it is absolutely amazing and speaks to angst that both parents and clinicians share when caring for children with serious, complex illnesses where there is no ‘right answer’ for the best treatment. I believe Suzanne’s insights have a positive and reassuring influence on healing and self-care for parents and provides medical professionals insight into the parent’s world.”
