A Gift of Self

At the end of life
when restoring health is no longer possible
Healing becomes more
than just the relief
of pain, suffering, and emotional distress

During this challenging time
Healing manifests on the purest level
an extension of the soul
a reflection of the spirit

Real Healing is
an authentic expression of caring and love
an aide in accepting a life drawing near
helping a person discover a calming peace
in a place of serenity on the journey leading to transition

Healing becomes...
A cheerful smiles
An open ear
A gentle touch
A warm embrace
Taking the time to listen, to be
simply share a part of yourself

The greatest gift one can give
may be the ability
to walk with a person
provide them with grace
strength and courage
on their path to transition

...before and then let it go...
