As a hospice chaplain, Kerry Egan sees herself not as a storyteller, but a story holder. She creates a peaceful, loving space in which patients can do "the spiritual work of dying" - contemplate their lives, find meaning, heal their souls. Some stories, Egan tells us, "are meant to be bundled up and locked away in a chaplain's heart, but some are meant to be told." On Living is a profoundly moving collection of those stories that "are meant to be told," offering wisdom, restoration, and grace to those of us with more life to live.
