I still remember Dr Weininger. He tried to help my son who at 23 was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. I wish Dr W was still with us as I continue to struggle on alone all these years later. His dad, my husband of 58 years, died this year and that makes it much harder. I thought Dr. W was a both kind and fierce, and I appreciated him very much. He always made me feel like he liked me and it was a surprising, pleasant, and novel feeling. I don´t think I usually feel that way, so no wonder I appreciated the experience of knowing him. I still think of him and how much you, who had the privilege of knowing him well, would miss him. It is a sad part of our life this kind of loss, but maybe it helps us to treasure the present moment, and the good times.
I wish you the best for 2025,
Carol

This man housed in an office in thornhill during a part of my youth was very open to their child clients inserting what they thought and might equally insert his own take that might not be pleasing lol_but he was real_I send empathy to this doctor's family~
