Megan M Czaja

Megan, I wish I got to know you as an adult. You were integral to who I grew up to be and your impact in my life has left a profound crater. It saddens me deeply to know that you are gone and that I'll never be able to catch up with you about life. I am who I am today because of the important work you did at the Institute Of Living and I will never forget what you have done for me. I'm happy to know you were at peace and lived life to the fullest.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the honor and pleasure of working with Meg at Austen Riggs. She was a smart, kind, courageous and warm clinician and colleague. It does not surprise me that her light and grit persisted throughout her life. Losing someone so young--a daughter, a young mother--is a particularly poignant loss. I wish you solace and comfort in each other. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the memorial due to a family memorial on the same day, but I will be with you in...

I'm here writing because I recently lost a loved one who's the same age as Megan these past 2 weeks and it changed my life forever. I want to send my condolences to the friends and family and will be praying for strength and light.

I am but a stranger to you all, but my heart aches for your loss. May your beautiful daughter, sister, mother, friend, be in your every sunrise and sunset. I will think of her at those times along with my missing loved ones as well. Peace to you all.

To my "shining star", though you have journeyed on to a better place, you are always with me. I see you not only in the sunrise and sunset and in the shining star but in all the beautiful nature around me. The love and pride I have for you is constant. You have done so much good in your life helping so many people. Know how much you are loved and missed. Love Mom
