Caregivers, heal thyself.
(who else is going to do it?)


I'm Eleesabeth M. Hager...(AKA Rev EM).  I am an Interfaith hospice spiritual care and bereavement chaplain all over the San Francisco Bay Area by day...and a writer and a garden-maker in my free time.

The Sustainable Chaplain
How to support (& do no harm to) people in the middle of loss?
And those reconciling a loss? How do I, myself, stay whole...and full?
(Okay...if you are Buddhist, translation here is: How do I stay empty?)
These blog posts go inside what it's like to be an Interfaith Hospice Chaplain...
where I support people of any faith or no faith
& all the rivers that run between the two...
