Dealing With Grief – Stuart Segall
We hear about the certainty of “death and taxes,” but grief has to be right up there with those two. You might be resigned to the others but how do you navigate grief?
For most of my adult life, I’ve done a lot of work as a chaplain. I’ve sat with the dying; many I did not know until I met them at their end. It was painful for me as I wear my heart on my sleeve. I often journey back in my mind to where my mom would take me as a boy to nursing homes to teach me the art of comforting those who are alone even at a time when they might be surrounded by humans that love them.

related to the coronavirus pandemic. Each news cycle informs and
cautions us about further restrictions. It seems that the “walls are

necessities, and be careful not to ...
