Lord how can I do this?

Lucy Honeysett shares her experience of dealing with mortality as a new nurse.

Lord, how can I do this?

Lord, how can I do this?

It feels like you’re asking me to stay with this lady.

I want to help.

I want her to know she’s precious and not forgotten.

I feel privileged to be present.

I want her to know you.

But, Lord, how can I do this?

How can I watch this lady die without knowing?

I don’t know her.

Does she know you?

Does she love you?

Does she know where she’s going?

As she enters eternity now, is she entering your presence?

Lord, how can I do this?

I hear you whisper to me:

I am with you.

I will help you.

I don’t need you to have the answers.

Sometimes you’ll never know.

But come with me.

Together, we can do this.
