Thanks for reading, Robin. Sorry that you felt it unnecessary. That was what the patient told the nurse, and (I think) spoke volumes about his fears and vulnerability. Perhaps I could have done something like us "scared ****less," but I didn't. When I served as a chaplain, hearing what patients had said to a nurse (or a home health aide or social worker) often gave me some insights into how I might be more helpful as a spiritual guide, listener, and advocate for their journey. Again, thanks for reading and commenting.
I like the post but the obscenity is unnecessary.

As a chaplain and minister, you should know better.
Larry, I could go on and on about the gift you have of articulating a scene AND emotions.
Instead, I will simply share this: This blog post really ressonated with me. And I am grateful for this today. Thank you.
Well done, good and faithful servant.
Hey, Rusty, thanks!
