I am sure they were grateful for your being there, and I am in awe of their wanting to witness this death with such a beautiful ceremony.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513450524657405885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-66530819439945999382010-05-21T10:47:31.724-07:002010-05-21T10:47:31.724-07:00One of the blog posts on Celestial Lands (a blog a...One of the blog posts on Celestial Lands (a blog about the musings of a seminarian becoming a UU chaplain in the military) recently wrote about how to listen to a veteran talking about his or her experiences. After reading that post I wonder how many of the veterans who die by suicide do so because there was nobody to listen well to their experiences. I suspect that some of the deaths aren't due to the neglect of the State, but to the lack of a listening voice willing to let them talk about their experiences in war.Donald R. S.

How often we fear death to the point of avoidance, even avoiding opportunities to heal and grow through the pain of loss.Desmond Ravenstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731355272768955344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-41550718533985237152010-05-20T17:15:02.408-07:002010-05-20T17:15:02.408-07:00Oh dear, how awful it would be to do that alone. ...Oh dear, how awful it would be to do that alone.
