A hospice chaplain/grief counselor and a pastor offer a first-hand and realistic depiction of death and dying

A Q & A with the Rev. Matt Holmes, who draws from two decades as a hospice chaplain, grief counselor, nurses’ aide, and emergency medical technician, and invites us to peer into the often-occulted dimensions of life’s endings. From bedsores to isolation to neglect to deep, desperate love, modern death’s characteristics are navigated here with insight, honesty, depth, and clarity. Following the sense of horror and humor evoked in each narrative are theopoetic and theological reflections from the Rev. Thomas R. Gaulke, PhD.
