Seeing in the Darkness with Dr. Michael Boldt and Rosemary Hill

On this episode of the Rector’s Cupboard we welcome two medical professionals who are with patients and families in some of the most difficult and painful times in life.

We speak with Michael Boldt and Rosemary Hill about what it is like to work with people in times of sorrow and loss. What can we learn in such times that we often fail to see in times of relative comfort or ease? 

We can’t know for sure how we will respond and react at times of great uncertainty or loss in our own lives, but considering how we might see life and humanity and gratitude even in such times can help us in the tumult that comes in each of our lives.

What might it meant to be grateful amidst pain and sorrow?

There's a Mississippi Mass Choir song from years ago; 

“Teach me to sing at midnight, the same song I sing today.
The same song that I sing in the daytime, is the same song I want to sing at night.” 

If we can see life even in the darkness, we just might know more of what it means to be fully alive.
