Readings


In the last 10 days we have celebrated the lives of two members of our Trinity community.  As I talked with Lin’s and Barbara’s friends and family to prepare the funeral services, I heard stories about how they lived their lives.  Stories of kindness and compassion.  Stories of family, of work and integrity, sorrow, play, and delight.  


Reflecting on the lives of these two faithful people reminded me of an interview with a death doula that I heard recently.  Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of a death doula.  It was new to me, too.
