With Wings Widespread is a reflective journal about care and
counseling in an acute psychiatric setting. It offers a glimpse
into what goes on in the hearts and minds of patients, families,
and professionals as they go about the business of experiencing and
helping others manage difficult life experiences.
For twenty-two years, Dr. McCall kept a poetry journal and in
the latter years of her ministry in that setting began the arduous
task of reflecting upon her life's work. She shares these
reflections openly and respectfully in this journal in the hopes
that what she learned would be of help to others.
In With Wings Widespread, one finds reflections about aging,
mental illness, and healthcare. One also finds thoughts about
teamwork, collegiality, and personal and workplace stress. There
are joyful reflections and painful moments of grief. There are
internal struggles and there are moments of insight and
epiphany.
Readers who pick up these reflections may use the material to
jog their memories, infuse their spirits, and see the value in
their experiences. Those who may feel tired, isolated, and even
lonely may connect with the experiences presented here and
hopefully others will put together a collection of their own
reflections.
