Lent, Day 20: Diagnose
Day 20: Diagnose
I’m working in healthcare once again; I am reminded of patients when I hear the word “diagnose.” As a hospice chaplain, the diagnoses my patients have are always very sad.
God bless all patients in hospice; God bless their families and loved ones, wherever they may be. Dear Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.
Elizabeth has been involved:
- as hospice chaplain at Unity Hospice in Chicago, Illinois
- as pastor at St. Luke's Christian Community Church, Morton Grove, Illinois
- in various ministry and prayer-related activities
- as a commissioned and endorsed member in the Federation of Christian Ministries
- holds an M.Div. degree and is working on a D.Min. from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
- holds a Certificate in Alcohol and Drug Counseling in Illinois (IAODAPCA)
Elizabeth has ministered as a hospice chaplain, at churches, care centers and retirement communities. Her spiritual and theological training, experience and natural less-anxious presence allow her to bring strength and comfort to persons in need. Elizabeth is also a daughter and sister, a wife and mother, has four healthy, curious and strong-minded children in their twenties and thirties, and a loving husband who works as a senior editor at a trade publication in Chicago.
