Muriel Vera Dimen

It's with enormous sadness that I am just now learning of the death of Muriel Dimen.
With her great intellect, intuition, sensitivity, and self-awareness, she helped me come to a much better understanding of myself. Though it has been years since I saw her, her vital presence lives on in my memory.
My condolences to her family and friends.

It was my pleasure to supervise and teach Muriel more than forty years ago and help as she turned her dissertation into a book. More than a pleasure because I benefitted from each of our contacts, often in ways that subtend words. Her movement and growth never stopped. One could palpably feel the love and sense of justice that drove her work. Work, too, informed by the beauty she found in nature.

My friendship with Muriel dates back to our days in the graduate program in anthropology at Columbia. She was a beautiful and brilliant person who will be sorely missed.

Sweet Muriel..
May flocks of angels carry and sing thee to thy rest.. Our hearts go out to your family and friends who will always love you, with cherished memories.

Dr. Dimen was a vital force in developing relational psychoanalysis. Her legacy will live on despite her loss.

You were a supervisor, friend, supporter. You danced at my wedding. Rest in peace.

Dearest Muriel, We in your Wednesday writing group are all heartbroken to lose you. It is too soon for this world to lose you. You were so vibrant and full of love, and so generous to all of us; you helped us develop our own unique voices. And, through all of your teaching and guidance you were also a wonderful friend and a generous and caring human being. You will be missed by so many, but you will live on in our hearts, our work, and our writing.

A most wonderful and treasured friend, a great thinker and writer, a true and fearless gourmet of life's pleasures.

I am so sorry that Ms Dimen passed away. May you find comfort in the words of family, friends and the "God of all Comfort" to help you through this difficult time. 2Cor1:3

you taught me, recognized me, and helped me find my way using the written word.

Muriel, my dear cousin: you were the brightest of all of us. When last we met you lent a sympathetic ear and offered wise advice on a path to follow. Our 30 minute "session" changed my life. I am forever grateful.

Muriel, I will forever be grateful for our adventure together. You were wise, kind, intelligent, funny, and completely brave. You set out with me on my leaky little boat, with no worries about hitting rough waters. But we found a way to land. I wish you fair winds and following seas on the next journey.

Heartbreaking...I will miss you. You will be forever in my heart and thoughts. Thank you for the journey and all your guidance. Love and Regard.

You are gone too soon, a bright brilliant beam of intellect, integrity and compassion you are now on your way to eternal rest. Your memory will burn on in all the minds of us who knew you and those who were and will be touched by your words.

I remember your brilliance and kindness.

Muriel was so expansively kind and intelligent. She benefited so many, including me. Wishing peace and healing.

Offering my heartfelt sympathy for your loss may your cherrishd menmories shine through your sorrows John11:33-34.

May your soul find rest and your memory last orever.
