People ask me all the time how I can work around so much death. I think that is a fair question. I have witnessed hundreds of last breaths, and I do see a lot of death. But I also see life, and love, and faith, and strength, and so much bravery.

Sometimes I witness a death that feels so unfair. That was my experience yesterday. I want to scream out loud “WHY?” But with that I also witness the beauty of people coming together at these most difficult times, supporting one another and rallying around those who feel broken.

This isn’t easy work.
I have difficult days.

People don’t ask me how my day is because they are afraid I’m going to tell them. If you work in this field you know.

Ask us how our day is.
Lean in and listen…. We’ve got some things we could share, that while difficult, might remind you how fragile and precious life is… encouraging you to not take anything for granted.
