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.

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.

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.
