A Stephen Minister is
someone who walks beside you when...
- the divorce papers have been served and the bottom falls out of your life
- the last child honks the horn and drives away - and the house suddenly seems incredibly empty
- you've just lost a friend or loved one and the emotions you've held at bay come crashing in on you.
- the relationship has ended but the wounds are still bleeding and painful.
- the doctors have said, "There's nothing more we can do."
- the phone call you dreaded most, happened.
- you realized the hands on the gold watch you received at your retirement party move more slowly than you ever imagined.
- the nursing home director shakes your hand and says, "Welcome to your new home."
- the gavel goes down, the handcuffs go on, and your loved one is led away.
- the baby has arrived, putting more demands on you than you ever dreamed possible.
- you find the pink slip inserted with what is now your final pay check.
- your family and friends have heard your story one too many times, but you still need to talk about it.
- your loved one cannot remember who you are.
