With my sunset now near, I bless you, oh life,because you never gave me false hopes,nor unjust tasks, nor undeserved sorrows;because at the end of my hard road, I seethat I was the architect of my own destiny …I loved, I was loved, the sun caressed my face.Life, you owe me nothing! Life, we are at peace!
Carole loved this poem and wanted to die in peace. She did not want to be mourned but to have her life celebrated with good food and wine. Not wanting others to be sad characterized Carole's passion for life. She was passionate about discovering new cultures and embarking on new adventure, despite knowing of her terminal illness. She never stopped.
Carole graduated as a nurse from the University of Ottawa and served as head nurse at the Ottawa General Hospital. She received a master's in public administration from Queen's University, and a master's in clinical psychology from the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. She completed her psychoanalytic psychotherapy training in Toronto and her psychoanalytic training at the Institut psychanalytique de Montréal. She then became a member of the Société psychanalytique de Montréal (SPM).
