Suffering in Silence: A Poetic Journey Through Compassion Fatigue

By Tammy Dennings Maggy

"The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk through water without getting wet." ~Naomi Rachel Remen

For those who care for animals or people in need, the pain and depression are real and can be overwhelming. Without an outlet, those suffering from compassion fatigue can feel isolated and alone. The poems within these pages show my journey through the darkness and into the light. At times it seemed all was lost, but that spark still glowed and called out to me. Use these poems as a guide to help you find your way to release your pain and know you're not in this alone.

This is an expanded collection of the poems used in the Suffering in Silence journal.

After a nearly 20 year career as a veterinarian, I decided it was time to pursue another dream of mine. With the publication of the first novel in my Now and Forever series in the fall of 2011, I was well on my way. Now my time is divided between my day job, writing two erotic romance series, and my poetry.Update: Now I'm looking at full time writing/publishing. Soon I'll hang up my stethoscope and retire from veterinary medicine. I'm excited about the new journey and the new projects I have lined up for publication.
