Kathryn Perry \u201910<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rev. Kathryn Perry ’10 steers head-on into what most of us shove aside until left without any choice: death\u2014and prioritizing what is important during the transition from life to deaeth. As a palliative care chaplain at the University of Kentucky’s Chandler Hospital, her days straddle this life and the next for families of every background and belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perry\u2019s work requires putting the self aside to enter a sacred and exceedingly difficult place, listening carefully to the needs of the most vulnerable and being supportive of her peers on the palliative care team. Together they tend \u201cthe sickest of the sick\u201d from around the state, meeting them at any point in an illness. \u201cPain is physical, emotional and spiritual,\u201d she explains, which is why the palliative care team is interdisciplinary. Much of her work is about helping people with anxiety and providing emotional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe listening component is one of the most beautiful things about what I get to do every day,\u201d she says. \u201cI invite people to tell me about their lives or what\u2019s important to them, what they value.\u201d More often than not, it isn\u2019t a party affiliation or a particular argument that rises to the top\u2014\u201cit is spending time with the people they love, it is going fishing or watching television and eating ice cream\u2014those very simple, seemingly ordinary pieces of life that really make us who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These end-of-life lessons are ripe for the living. For Perry, it\u2019s about being willing to leave your preconceptions behind and to meet people where they are\u2014the golden rule of hospital chaplains\u2014\u201cnot necessarily to try to change that place, but to try to understand and see where they\u2019re coming from.\u201d Connecting to people through their stories is something she believes her Transy education prepared her to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perry sees her Transy education as a whole. \u201cAll of the classes collectively taught me to be a certain kind of person and thinker,\u201d she says, and professors, campus initiatives and alumni continue to inspire her. \u201cThey\u2019re teaching people how to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening deeply, being curious, willing to challenge the familiar and learning to value others above ourselves, are testaments of who Pioneers become. \u201cThey\u2019re teaching people how to live the values that Transy espouses and that brought me to Transy,\u201d Perry adds. \u201cThey\u2019re teaching by showing and by modeling what it means to live a generous life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
