Today, on Table Talk, Miss R joined us for 30-minutes of insights and reflections. (You can listen to our show via the player at the bottom of this post.)
One topic we discussed was particularly heart-felt. Miss R candidly spoke about her current worry: Will today be the day she enters her grandmother’s room and finds that her grandmother has passed?
Miss R works on the worry; she’s reading and reflecting about the what time will be like when it comes. She’s spoken with Hospice, which suggested additional reading materials. And, Miss R recommended this book: Living our Dying, A Way to the Sacred in Everyday Life by Joseph Sharp.
Miss R and I ended our discussion with her description of her favorite moments of the day with her grandmother. Bedtime seems to be the magical time for the both of them, when they share their mutual love for each other.
That time—Miss R’s favorite time—is also the most important time. That time together can ease that time Miss R dreads. When that time comes, it will be hard. The memories created at bedtime will comfort and answer.
