Weeping
So I arrived at work this morning. We’ve had a parishoner sick in the hospital for a few days now…and it’s beginning to look rough. When I got here I was talking to our administrator. She gave me a book, “Gone From My Sight”…the book that hospice hands out to those who have a family member dying.
It is well written. Not depressing at all…simply stating what happens in the body as a person dies. It is actually very poetic…and peaceful.
But it makes me want to weep.
So, today, I pray for tears.

i think death can actually be very poetic and beautiful. For us this side of eden … maybe not so much.

Very true…very true. It’s hard living this side of eden.
