Thanks for that. Certain widows in my first parish begged me not to speak of death, having lost their husbands to it. I reckon in weakness they wanted a cheerleader, not a Pastor. They are baptized into Christ, so it’s okay. Let those who teach in the Church be strengthened in the Holy Spirit, for we anticipate the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

I have heard it said that on of the goals of Christianity is to help one to die well.
