    Loss of Life

    It’s been a rough week here at Sutter Delta Medical Center.  Some lost a friend and co-worker, a nurse’s life ended suddenly and without notice.  The Auxiliary too suffered a loss. A veteran volunteer died, her struggle ended after years of illness.  King Solomon, supposedly the wisest man ever to live, penned hundreds of proverbs and wrote poetry and prose as well.  In the book of Ecclesiastes he wrote “ There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die…a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance…”  This week we mourn. 

    Life is precious and brief. Whether we see death coming or it comes like a thief in the night, it’s seldom welcomed. Death will not be avoided or cured. We must love the ones we love while they’re here.  Speak words of appreciation and affection while you have the chance, don’t save them for the eulogy.
