Much of my work involves working with people at the end of their lives. I’ve become increasingly aware that my presence and listening to an individual’s life story can have a beneficial and healing aspect. The soul responds to our bearing witness even if all we do is sit quietly and listen. That’s why I found the following quote by Catherine de Hueck Doherty rang so true.
With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing.
If you have a favorite quote that relates to storytelling and life stories please send it along to me and I’d be happy to consider posting it in one of my “Quotes of The Week.”
