Chris Donner
Profile
I’m a grief counselor in Canby, Oregon. I facilitate support groups for children and adults grieving the loss of a family member to natural causes, terminal illnesses or violent death. I believe that helping people move through their grief and confusion to a happy life is the most significant thing I can do with my life. Please visit my blog at http://journeytoacontentedlife.blogspot.com
I’m also a clown and balloon artist, going by the name of Alice Doodles, a weaver and a lifelong explorer of all things spiritual. I love labyrinths, walking on the shore or camping under a canopy of trees and stars. I am a history buff and a lover of cats and pugs. And I love our Oregon rain. It renews me.
The Universe brought me my soul mate, Cee Neuner, over twenty years ago and I am still blissfully in love.
What I have yet to do with my life: ride a unicycle, learn ventriloquism, kayak and anything else I can think of that brings me joy!
I am also a disabled Vietnam era vet, joining the US Army in the last battalion of the Womens Army Corps before it was dismantled and blended into the Regular Army.

You Promised Me!
Is it any wonder that, eleven years later, when I found myself sitting by her bedside, watching her in her coma…
Primal Scream
The nice thing about living on 35 acres is that you can go outside whenever you want and scream your head off and no one will call the cops.
Words of Wisdom
Harry said, ever so calmly, “You just do. You just do.” Those were not reassuring words.
The Long Walk
The elevator hisses shut behind me. Ahead of me lays the terrifying walk to those doors with the ominous sign: Restricted Area. Behind those doors lie the mostly dead, the partially alive, and…
