106 - It's okay that you can't think right now.
Almost every time I’m in a room after a death (I’m a hospital chaplain), someone will talk about not being able to think clearly. A name will disappear from their memory, a story will lose its way. In today’s episode we’ll talk a little about that. And I read from my book, This is Hard, what I say to people who can’t think. (It’s understandable).
And, true confession, this episode is a week later than planned. Because it was hard to think last week.
Get your coffee or tea and sit with me for a bit.
