I Wouldn’t Promise Her.
from The Chaplain's Chair Hosted by Chaplain Tim Lajoie
A hospice patient once asked Tim Lajoie a simple but deeply personal question: “Will you be there when I die?” He wanted to say yes, but he wouldn't make a promise he couldn't guarantee. In this true patient encounter, Tim reflects on honesty, trust, uncertainty, Christian hope, and why good spiritual care sometimes means resisting the temptation to offer easy reassurance.
