Care Pastoral care -
When a goodbye
might be a
softer hello

By Ian Simms
Head of Pastoral Care

Caroline stood at the side of the bed where
her husband, Bill, was passing away. He had
struggled with dementia for the last few
years and had slowly drifted away from
their affection-filled marriage of 53 years.
She knew the day was coming when she
would have to say goodbye differently, but
now it was here.

It was odd really, as though the people
round the bed were suspended in time,
watching while the nurse tried to make Bill
comfortable. Everyone was watching Bill,
but I was watching Caroline as she found
her way through the haze of sadness and
fought off the insistence of a thousand
practical arrangements that she could
see coming. There were always so many
arrangements to be made – but how she
wished she didn’t have to make them all
on her own!

We are much better with hello than with
goodbye, it seems. Hellos are fun. They

perhaps, and we never really know where
that can lead. It’s all rather exciting. But
goodbyes are not quite the same. They’re
uncomfortable and sad, for the most part.
They are linked to loss and we tend to
avoid them where we can. Given the stage
of life that many of our people are in, it is
not surprising that saying goodbye to a
friend or a pet or a way of life can seem
to come around a little too often for our
liking. We used to expect goodbyes only at
