You have so eloquently and exactly described this scene/encounter. It brings me right back to some of those moments I've also had as a nurse. I love your writing. Thank you for sharing this moment in a such a beautiful way.

Thank you for reading! My hope was to put words to something that feels almost impossible to communicate. I’m glad to hear it gave a language to your experience too.

One thing I've come to appreciate about the Catholic tradition is their view of the sacramental nature of things. The physical speaks of the spiritual. The actual sacraments most of all, but of the natural world, our very bodies. Thanks for this beautiful snapshot.
