I appreciate your comments, Jim, just as I appreciate the hospital chaplains in my life and work.
A powerful poem on being the bearer of terrible news. Thank you.
I appreciate your comment, Sheila. It’s a hard position to be in.
As a hospital Chaplain, nearly every visit involves death. You have captured my soul as I move through the hall toward the next encounter. Breathless. Silent. The family awaits.
