Linda’s Story

what brings you peace?

As we walked on our hospice Riverwalk, I was with a woman who was
grieving over the loss of her 32-year-old son two years ago. I could sense
how her heart felt the need for protection as she was unable to open to
her experience. I consciously paused at the bridge to allow another way
to be with her. I asked my inner wisdom what would be truly helpful.
The words, “What brings you peace? ” gently flowed out as our eyes
met. The countenance on her face softened, no words were spoken,
only a message received in the heart for reflection. I trust there is a
peace that will make itself known.

Linda’s Note on Pause to Us All

I am a former educator in the teaching profession
and was later called to be a hospice volunteer
after retiring from the working field.

(Pause) has lifted and touched my heart. I am
deeply grateful that so many of us are supporting
one another. I am becoming more trusting and
patient as I Pause and listen.

With Love and Rich Blessings,

Linda
