“I held someone's hand while they were dying and I don't know how to carry that.”
What you did was one of the most profound acts of presence one human being can offer another. You were there at the end. That is not a small thing — it is rare, and it is permanent. What you carry from it may be heavy. It may also be quietly meaningful in ways that take time to fully understand.
Your Practice
You don't need words for this yet. Write about what you witnessed — simply, plainly, without trying to make it mean something. Then, when you are ready, write one thing the experience changed in how you see your own life. That insight is yours now. Carry it deliberately.
The Architects
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
— Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
