Joan Berzoff on Friday said suffering is intrinsic to dying. I ask if that is so. Or do we mistake the work, do we mistake arduous for suffering? Do we get in the way?

Hear the lessons
Hence, a lot of thinking about what that transformation might be. My clients can guide me, ought to be the guides. But we can do more, much more for them, than simply the technical grunt work of the Medicaid application. We can help them have a better life the other side of the rapids, a better life self-defined. We can introduce them to others to help, we can be there to hear, to witness. We can teach (doctor!) volunteers and family to hear. We can find teachers. We can hear the lessons.
