While I have never met Irene, I am a big fan of Jean Marie and know her through the Narrative Medicine program. For Jean Marie to have become such an intelligent, creative, empathic, joyful person most certainly is in no small part due to the parenting by Irene. Jean Marie, I am sorry for your loss and hope to see you soon. The Narrative Medicine team is fully behind you as you walk through this difficulty and can help you no matter how many times you stumble.
