Hearing, Singing, & the Gentle Witness of Song at Life’s End – Christians often sing at birth, but what about death? This essay urges us to recover the practice of singing truth and comfort in life’s final days.
I recently had the opportunity to sing by my neighbor's bedside as he was on hospice care. It was a beautiful thing to hold his hand and sing "Amazing Grace" & "It is Well with My Soul." My husband and I get to sing "It is Well" at his memorial service this week.
This is SO beautiful!!! I absolutely love your “Roger Richie Radio” and your wonderful singing of, “And I Love You So”! Like your beloved uncle was, I too have no spouse and no children but I love to sing. The idea of a bedside music ministry is truly wonderful. I’m not quite sure how I could prepare for this but I know that I can pray and ask the Lord for help. Thank you so much for this wonderful post!
