Pediatric Emotional Support in High-Stress Medical Events: Designing Care for the Next Generation
This article explores how children emotionally experience high-stress medical events through a descriptive, research-informed lens. Emotional responses are examined as part of typical developmental processes rather than clinical conditions, with attention to observation, environment, communication, and relational context.

Inside Infertility . Content Warning.
Infertility isn’t just a “journey.” It’s a quiet heartbreak that repeats itself month after month. I’ve been walking through IUIs and now IVF, doing everything my doctors ask, everything my heart can handle… and still, the hardest part is the waiting. Each cycle begins with the same rhythm: five, six, sometimes seven early morning trips to the doctor. Ultrasounds. Blood draws. Needles sliding into the same veins until they’re tender to the touch. Four or more jabs every month… and still, I whisper to myself, Maybe this will be the one. Then there’s those two weeks where hope and fear sit in your chest like stones. Where you tell yourself not to get excited, not to imagine, but you do anyway.

When We Lost Our Grandchildren
I'll never forget the day Emma stopped answering our calls. My wife Florence and I had just returned from our usual Tuesday morning coffee when I noticed three missed calls from our son, James.

They form in ordinary moments—shared meals, inside jokes, and disagreements that end in forgiveness. Yet, they carry extraordinary strength. When life feels uncertain, those ties often become the anchor that steadies us.

The Sorrow of an Innocent Angel
The colorful clothes of the people in the marketplace spread hues like a rainbow. The constant movement of shopkeepers and customers added even more vibrancy to those colors. The murmurs of the crowd, the calls of street vendors, the arguments between buyers and sellers, the laughter of groups of wandering youths, and the harsh noise of impatient horns all merged into the air of the bazaar, crushing the faint voice of poverty and dissolving into the sky.
