Marietta welcomes the invitation to speak with a group representing all those involved in caring for patients and families at the Jack Byrne Center. She will speak with chaplains, social workers, volunteers, and health care professionals, among others. When thinking of writing about emptying her childhood home, Marietta thought immediately of how such a book could bring comfort to those also in her shoes. Her goal for this talk and discussion is just that—easing heartache and providing hope for those who grieve. As Ram Dass states: “We’re all just walking each other home.”
