N2  - From personal interviews with chaplains at the temporary mortuary at Ground Zero following the attacks on September 11, 2001, Storm Swain offers here a new model of pastoral care grounded in theology and practice. She explores the pastoral ethic of love and articulates a model for pastoral care as a way of being in the image of God in the interpersonal spaces of holding, suffering, and transforming.  We see how this love looks in practice through the bracing and heartbreaking reflections of chaplains who cared for rescue workers and families of victims at Ground Zero.  Within this model pastoral caregivers can move from a place of trauma to a place of transformation, which enables wholeness and healing for both caregivers and those for whom they care
