Death

[Nobody Special]

I have found that working in a Rest Home that it gets harder to deal with a death of a patients, It the fact that I get closer to them as well as the love I feel for them, I can only hope that if you have a love on you can only hope that some one who is takeing care of them loves them as much as I do, I have sit With them When they are dieing, I also sing and give them peace, I just wanted to let you know that if you have parent or grandparents in a nurseing home, some of us care to go out of are way just to make them have a safe trip to heaven

Thank you Nobody Special (and wife). I work in a restaurant which caters to the senior citizens. I too have become very attached to some, and when they pass it hurts. Alot of them are lonely and their Sunday dinner outing is just that for them, an outing. All they are looking for is a friendly smile and sometimes a hug or a kiss on the cheek to make their week more bearable.

I have a funeral to attend on Monday. My best friends father succumbed to cancer after a 3 month battle. What a shame and what a great man he was. I am going to go and spend time with him and his family tomorrow and all day Monday.......also have a "deed" to do (Pall Bearer) and that will be hard. I have been a pall bearer once before, for my best friend once upon a time ago. Sorry y'all I just saw this thread and had to say something.......been a tough week.

On behalf of those family members who do care for their elderly relatives who couldnt get there in time to be there when they died...thankyou. Thankyou for making their last moments not lonely, thankyou for holding their hands, thankyou for reassuring them, and thankyou for giving them courage as they passed away.

I know exactly what you're speaking of. If you ever need a compatriot feel free to e-mail me. I've been doing it for 3 1/2 years now and I still have a hard time losing one of "my" folks.

To you and other caregivers who do what you do, I say Bravo. I could not do it as a full time job and applaud you. It has been hard enough watching at close range the people I have seen die, die. So I cannot imagine what it must be like to do it day and day out, and for that I applaud you. *Standing up and clapping for Earthmuffin and Nobody Specials Wife*
