I have been a local church pastor, a hospice chaplain, but now serve at a large retirement living community both as the Director of Chaplains and as the Senior Pastor of the United Methodist church located in the center of the campus. I agree that elders who are facing challenging illnesses need time and also the inclusion of their family/friends. They are strengthed in their journey by sharing with others. They need the care of listening. Dr. McCulloughs stories are stories I hear regularly in the context of my work. I look forward to purchasing and reading this book. I plan to share the book review with others. This review spoke to my mind and heart.

I am well aware of the fact that we have a need to provide bereavement services to the Latino communities. We have some Latinos (those who can speak english) who attend our groups. The real issue is that those who only speak spanish are left without a place to receive bereavement services. I always encourage them to check with their local parish, hoping that they can find help in that way. The adult bereavement program is only one of my duties as a full time chaplain at the hospital. I would like to know if Lili knows of other persons in my area (metro Chicago) who might be providing bereavement services to the Latino communities even informally. I would certainly welcome a spanish speaking facilitator into our program, or would certainly like to have the name of someone who I could give to those who call in to our hospital seeking help for someone who is not english speaking. The need is great, God bless you for stepping into the void to be present to those on the journey and work of grieving the loss of a loved one. May your path be bright in this season of Lights and Love. Chaplain Carol Ehler I coordinate the Adult Bereavement program at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, Illinois.
