Just had the privilege of educating a man who was unable to say the word ‘die’ about what to expect as his dad stops dialysis and transitions out of this earthly realm. His relief and gratitude were immense. Some days, the honor of this profession overwhelms me…

Hands on work/presence with the dying, dead, & the grief stricken deeply emboldens the empathy that one walks through the world with. That's a neighbor and friend I want to thrive with.

It's with the utmost reverence, love, & presence. To stand witness to it is to know care for community.
