					<description><![CDATA[Humor is a mature defense mechanism.  While that can tainted by the above, being able to laugh at ourselves, our situations, and those involved in our situation helps us to maintain professionalism and process frustration.   I may refer to a patient as &quot;gorked out,&quot; and that may seem callous, but it helps me deal with the fact that they are gorked out and I will have to approach family with poor news.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, I&#039;m still working on the bitterness (having left the clergy in 1999), but mostly I&#039;m just enjoying the faith of my middle age and thankful that I have come to a place where I&#039;m appreciative of my encounters with the sacred, and of having found a new spiritual (and/or humanist) community.  (and thanks, Frog)]]></description>
