Deathbed Conversations
Deathbed conversations are years lost. Sorrow at its most known and entirely the mistakes of choice. How have you decided to live with your family? Are there skeletons rattling around the generational closet that need dusting off and forgiven? Given my family, I would imagine there are. The insistence of silence comes from the cutting and backbiting that is relationships. We must not hold to the expectation of perfection. This creates the deathbed chat. I am moved to tears for my own family having watched decades roll by in silence for a whole host of behaviors suited to simply being human. Yet, knowing death will most likely be the predicate for conversations long overdue. I am sure you understand. Move in grace, live in grace, insist on forgiveness for yourself and others. It is the only way out of the deathbed conversation.
