I&#8217;m working two days on no sleep.\u00a0 Early this morning I finally got a few moments alone in a corner of someone&#8217;s room and fell promptly asleep.\u00a0 I had a vivid dream of sitting with <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=8916\" target=\"_blank\">my mom, and we were in the hospital room where she died in 1996<\/a>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the dream, as in our last meeting, I noticed her lips were dry and I asked if she wanted Chapstick.\u00a0 She pursed her lips and I put on the Chapstick.\u00a0 It was the most holy moment I ever spent with her.\u00a0 I felt she was there with me again.\u00a0 The dream then morphed into all of us in today&#8217;s present situation standing to hold hands in a circle around the bed over our loved ones.\u00a0 We sang <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bcP9Zsaqnck\">I&#8217;ll Fly Away<\/a> together (something we&#8217;ve never done) and thereafter just stood in silence until I awoke in the chair.\u00a0 The real job, as always, is not just the gathering of the paperwork and handling speaking to those in charge, it is more in comforting the family, listening to the fond memories, and pointing their attention toward the future.\u00a0 The real job is to help them find a better feeling place as a time they feel their life has been torn out from under them.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:
