Addie, you have amazing perspective, connecting the life of the universe, "the incomprehensible math of it," with your intimate, "deeply grounded" connection to another person. Thank you for sharing this.
"Instead, the job feels deeply grounded in real, moment to moment experiences that reveal the full color of what it means to have lived in this world, which is never just one thing."
And, your final words:
"I get to play a small part in helping to normalize our enduring human need for care and connection."
I just love how you explain with humility and vulnerability that we are all human in need of each other, and each moment gathers together to reveal--as you beautifully put it--the "full color" of our lives. I love that you get to be a part of someone's "full color" as you gently touch them and make a connection with them at the end of their lives. It's quite beautiful how you explained that in this article, and pulls at my heart in ways I don't even have words for. Thanks for sharing Addie!
