As time goes by, I miss you even more. You were a steady, caring & very special person, there are few people who have touched my life as much. I wish you were here. Like you told me, death is a part of life. I still have trouble with that.

You will NEVER be forgotten. As a therapist and mentor, you were the absolute best. As a person, full of intelligence, humor and a heart of gold. I miss you very much as a very important person in my life and often feel the void. You were so dear, I wanted desperately to be your niece. If only you were still around to help me navigate my life and cope with reality. There is no substitute for what you gave me. Incredible stability, knowing you were there. Thank goodness I have some of your precious letters. Hug.

Dr.Blaustein was my therapist, supervisor and colleague. He pulled me through some difficult times. He had a great sense of humor and was a gem of a person. I will remember him forever and am grateful that he was there for me throughout the years. He told me that death was a part of life. I think it’s the hardest part, losing cherished people like him along the way. Rest In Peace, you wonderful man. I still have some humorous letters he sent me after I wrote to him. He was just so dear to me. I brought him back a figure from Prague because of his interest in Napoleon and immediately he told me it’s history and was so touched by the gift. He loved reading and once suggested I take an acting class. Maybe I will. Forever in my heart. Sharon Parker, LCSW-R
