facing death
facing death, a top pastor rethinks what it means to be christian
he looked at himself as a man filled with lessons, proverbs and, most of all, answers.
and felt needed
the truth is, the more I live, the fewer answers I have
yet now he has the time to follow jesus to an extent he didn't have time for before
as you get nearer to the end - you realise how fragile life is and only do he things that are important
eventually he regained perspective.
he now meets with congregants one-on-one and feels that is way more important than the 000's he used top preach to
it took me quite a while to find an alternative purpose - but the good news is out there – there is a purpose for everyone.”

grieving
this article from chaplain mike via the internet monk looks at what his approach is to the grief of those surviving the loss of a loved one.
- our death distancing/denying culture means we are not realistic about the aftermath from losing a loved one
- the initial bereavement period is about thirteen months long as we go through all the annual annual occasions once celebrated together with the person
- the journey of grief is taken best within the context of a caring community: family, friends and neighbours, faith group.
- grief is not about the one who died, but about the pain I feel because he/she is gone and my life is changed forever.
the article answers this and other questions more fully but some headlines from it are:
- our death distancing/denying culture means we are not realistic about the aftermath from losing a loved one

- the journey of grief is taken best within the context of a caring community: family, friends and neighbours, faith group.

what do people who are sick and dying talk about with the chaplain?
this post by kerry egan tells the whole story rather wonderfully, but in summary
- mostly about their families
- the love they felt and gave or didn't receive or didn't know how to offer or withheld or never felt
- how they learned what love is, and what it is not
- when actively dying they often reach their hands out to things I cannot see
and concludes that people talk to the chaplain about their families because that is where we create our lives, where we find meaning, where our purpose becomes clear.
