So Guadalupe died at home, exactly five days after her last dialysis treatment. What can I say about this? It was terrible. It was beautiful. It was a great burden. It was a great gift. It broke my heart that it was I holding her hand and not Andresito. I was extraordinarily glad that she was not dying alone.
COMMENTARY: As secular waves whisper assisted suicide, the world is full of Guadalupes — men, women and children who have washed up alone on rocky shores — offering us as Catholics the opportunity to show true compassion.
