Description: How can one enter into another's suffering without being overwhelmed, drained, useless? The author deals frankly with her own experiences of burn-out. Again and again, however, she describes the experience of grace and forgiveness where she finds her humanity affirmed and redeemed through the gift of those she serves. Meditates on the mystery of our wounded humanity, trying to wrest meaning and a spirituality of caring out of the reality of suffering.
