Don't Waste Your Life

Life's a journey - don't forget to unpack.

Where it all meets

Perhaps then, it is at the cross of Christ that we find what we crave for most deeply in this world. Love and sacrifice, justice and mercy, faithfulness and grace. It is at the cross of Christ that all these meet, and if we dig deep enough into the core of our being, we will find that these are the things we will live and die for. - Me

To you, my reader. :)

There, look on me, so that you may not praise me beyond what I am; there, believe me, not others, about myself; there, attend to me and see what I have been in myself, through myself. - St Augustine

Hello. My client just died.

It hasn't really settled yet. This morning, I had to face my first death in this profession. She had passed on a little earlier, and it was purely by accident that I got to know about it almost immediately.

Naturally the questions came fast and furious. Could I have done more for the family? Could I have supported them more? What now? Will the family still trust me? Isn't grief more pertinent at this point? Family entries and exits? Maybe it's also good she left.. the caregiving burden was just too great?

In the end, I could only tell myself that I had done what I can, and I hope this family will be well soon.

This is a tough job. Really.
