Summary:
I will be talking about how my personal experiences with death and dying, influenced my decision to become a hospice social worker. I felt that I had a lot to offer dying patients and their families, but I didn't expect what I received in return; the privilege of witnessing, time and time again, the reality of love that transcends all else, even death. That opportunity helped me strengthen my new-found UU values and faith and led me to think about end-of-life issues in a whole different way. I want to share some of my stories of intense, heartfelt emotions and also, in true UU fashion, some humorous ones that help to put it all in perspective.
