As a nurse, I’ve been with many right as they pass. The confession came from a 102 year old lady. She was so nice, polite, and would never ask for a thing. Even when sick, she wouldn’t complain. She out lived her children and husband, the rest of the family lived across the country. I sat with her for a few minutes after giving her pain medication. She stated “I love the Lord but I’m not going to see him”. I told her that she has a spot in heaven waiting for her. She still said “No”.
Turns out that she got pregnant at 17, unmarried, and had a boy she didn’t even know well. Which would have been a big deal back then. She hid her pregnancy and gave birth in the family barn. Scared and knowing that if her family found out about any of this she would be kicked out and labeled. She wrapped up the baby and placed it in a pond on the family farm.
I though my heart stopped when she told me her story. Soon, she fell asleep and passed about an hour later.
