The author conveys his thoughts as a palliative care chaplain about the sacred gift of so-called negative human emotion. Topics mentioned include the reason why people nearing death spend time and energy behaving in ways that amount to little more than performance, the difficulty of identifying and communicating so-called negative emotions the moment they arise, and the possibility of transforming fear and brokenness into holy prophets.
