The Joyful Friar

Compassionate Response: Grandfather "A+"


Listen Later

Fr. Nathan and prayer partners Kim and Phillip discuss the compassionate responses to Grandfather "A+." This story is new and not in any of the "Afterlife, Interrupted" books.

Kimberly Sharp, LMFT, DTM, is a psychotherapist, loves helping people connect with the deepest part of themselves, which can promote joy, peace, and relief in their lives. Working from a mindbody-spirit perspective, she has witnessed how when we do our own inner work, it can lead to a deeply meaningful and fun life! Working as a prayer partner with Father Nathan, Kimberly has been amazed at the benevolence, kindness, and creativity the heavenly helpers on the “other side” use to support souls on their journey in the afterlife. Kimberly enjoys spending time with her husband and family, good friends, and volunteering with Toastmasters International and in her home parish of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in San Pedro, California.

Phillip West received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana. In 2014, he retired early from aerospace to pursue a journey of spiritual discovery. After the passing of both parents, he was inspired to serve those approaching end-of-life. Although COVID delayed those plans, he returned to graduate school to study pastoral counseling, trained as an end-of-life doula, and volunteers at hospice. He also gives time to caregiver and bereavement support groups in his community.
