Inhaltsangabe

I chose to walk along side of many people who were struggling with serious illnesses. I discovered choosing this path meant I needed to accept the fact I didn’t have more than an academic understanding of illness. I would need to be taught by those who were in the battle with being ill every day of their lives. For me this meant walking the edge with them often between life and death. The years of journey have been exciting, challenging, disturbing, troubling, and life changing. The price regarding what I was asked to let go of, and the gifts given in return have been greater blessings than money could ever buy. The poems in this book are my attempts to capture what it meant to walk the edges in people’s lives. Many of these poems have been shared with families and some have found them clear pictures of their felt experience during their loved one’s process.As you walk through these poems you will experience the cutting edge in your own life, pointing to your confusion, asking what does this mean for me? Those served would give you this guidance, take time for reflection, let insights go deeper, and trust the process. Who knows what you will discover?

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Originally from Monaca, Pennsylvia, Sproull is an ordained Elder and pastored churches in PA for eight years before entering Clinical Chaplaincy. His primary ministry has been with patients in hospitals and medical clinics dealing with Cancer, providing emotional, relational, and spiritual support during the journey with a life-threatening illness. Out of this ministry grew his work as a Spiritual Director. He currently has a private practice in Shelby. As he began ministry in the hospital, poems began to be part of healing for himself as he found words to express the challenges of caring for others. This focus was also helpful at the bedside assisting clients in writing their own poems. Thus, this book of poetry is given with the many clients in mind who helped write with him the written poems.
