I am officiating the funeral this morning of a man who was married to his lovey bride for 71 years. As you may imagine, his bride is very, very heartbroken. Just think, 71 years of marriage……..It is a blessing to be with families at a time like this. Last week I officiated the funeral of a lovely woman who died in a house fire. Sudden death is monster of its own.
We grieve hard, because we love hard. Do not fight your grief, you delay your healing. If I can help, please email me.

As a Christian end-of-life doctor, the conversations about mortality are not just clinical — but can be deeply spiritual. The privilege of sitting with families during this time can teach us about the critical role of faith during life’s most challenging moments.
Before entering a patient’s room, I have just asked the Holy Spirit to give me the words that I am to share. I must discern what to say, and what not to say. The simple question, “May I pray for you?” has always resulted in a yes from anxious families whose shoulders are bunched up around their ears. Tense muscles relax with the rhythm of simple prayers given as an expression of compassion. Regardless, of their faith or lack thereof, patients and families find comfort in my faith. More Here
