Understanding Love
Those of us who work in the field of health care find our work to be both challenging and rewarding. Discovering the delicate balance needed to work with individuals and with groups nudges us to explore and understand love.
Those of us who work in the field of health care work in a place where bringing health, healing and life are our primary goals. We work in a place where experiencing death, grief and loss are not supposed to happen. The reality is, we journey with people in every rhythm of the life experience. The wisdom writer said, “there is a time for every season.” There is one significant opportunity we have working in a care giving institution – the challenge to demonstrate love, care and compassion. Whether in life or in death, we can be people whose loving spirits let our patients (friends) feel loved.
We’ve focused on love during this month of meditations. In just a couple days a new month will march in like a lion and hopefully go out like a lamb.. Know that you are loved!! “Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God.” (1 John 4: 7)
