In "Defining Moments," Joseph LeBlanc takes us on a journey through times and happenings in his life firm in the belief that so many of these moments have been lived by each of us in countless ways that are, in the end, so much the same. His words speak of hopes and fears and loss and pain and of the spirit that survives. He finds in these moments a common thread and finds it well. These are roads well-traveled as we make our way, sometimes halting, sometimes tentative, always in search of more meaning. There is much to savor that should not be missed. Rare will be the reader who is not found somewhere in these pages. Rarer still will be the one who is not moved to remembrance and reflection from having read this way.
"Oh Joe!" is a must read for anyone who has experienced grief and loss and struggles to survive. Other books have been written about the stages of grief. This one eloquently conveys in poem the complex feelings of the grieving process that others describe with clinical observation. There are no platitudes, no easy answers here. Joseph LeBlanc speaks from the heart about the anguish of loss and how it feels. It is a father's personal struggle to survive the loss of his son so piercing you will feel you are there and fall to your knees in thanks that you are not. He speaks to us of feelings of loss we all have in a way that cannot help but leave you touched. It is rare that a man would expose this much of himself. It is rarer still that he would write about it for all to read. We should be thankful for this glimpse into the recesses of soul within us all.
Diese Monographie erschien zuerst im Mai 1924 in hoHandischer Sprache. Die darin beschriebenen Untersuchungen wurden in den Laboratorien des Pharmakologischen Institutes und der Psychiatrisch-Neurologischen Klinik in Utrecht unter Leitung von Prof. R. Magnus und Prof. C. Winkler ausgefuhrt. Jeder, der die Arbeiten diesel' Meister kennt, wird fast auf jeder Seite bemerken, wie groB ihr EinfiuB auf das Zustandekommen dieser Studie gewesen ist. GroBe Hilfe habe ich bei der Untersuchung der Praparate und bei der muh samen Pfiege der operierten Tiere von meiner Frau genossen. Dr. E. Le Blanc bin ich fur die Ausfiihrung der deutschen Obersetzung zu groBem Danke verpfiichtet, vor aHem fUr die erfolgreiche M: uhe, die er auf gewendet hat, um den hollandischen Text moglichst genau im Deutschen wieder zugeben. Die deutsche Ausgabe weicht in einigen Punkten von der hollandischen abo Vor allem wurden verschiedene Tatsachen mehr berucksichtigt, die fur die Physiologie und Pathologie des Mittelhirns und fur die Korperstellung des Menschen bedeutungsvoll erschienen. Auch wurden noch einige Tierversuche mit aufgenommen, welche u. a .. die Folgen der Zerstorung der Substantia nigra betreffen. Utrecht, im Januar 1926. G. G. J. Rademaker. Inhaltsverzeichllis."
