As a hospice chaplain, I went to many deaths at all hours of the day. Later, as a hospital chaplain, I again stood by bedsides at the time of death. I wanted to try to share with you, Dear Listener, a little about what I saw during these experiences. This is a compilation of thousands of times when I've been with families at these painful, but still human experiences.

I conclude the episode by reciting the poem. You can see the show-notes and entire poem here.

Above all, I hope you sense my appreciation for the families that have allowed me to be present with them, my love for their loved one, and my desire to support people.

You can learn more about me an my services here.

This is the first episode in a three-part series. Lasting change through resolutions occurs for less than half the people who make them. Part of the reason for this is because we derive our resolution from our sense of deficits, failures, and wanting or The Hungry Ghost. Unfortunately, there's a whole industry that thrives on highlighting our deficits and providing tools, apps, and devices to "help us achieve our goals." Don't believe it. There are better ways that support your sense of skillfulness, self-image, and agency.
