Can't See A Man Cry

2 weeks ago - 11/6/2009 @ 10:56 PM

Well, one of my patients passed on today. I wanted so bad for her son to be by her side when she went. But 3 of us was with her. I was doing my night time treatments and looked in on her and her face didn't look right. I went to check her BP and my med aide and cna followed me. I couldn't get any vitals on her but she was still looking around and breathing slowly. As soon as I called her son and hung up, she took her last breath and closed her eyes. She went so peacefully. She only has one child. I felt so bad for him. I thought she could have made it until he came 'cause she wasn't really mottled.

When he came, he fought back tears. My tears just rolled, 'cause I knew how much they loved each other. We all basically broke down when he kissed her on the forehead. His family and his mother have always been so nice and so kind to us. Even if they were a little upset with us, they never showed it. I hope we can attend her funeral. She's truly special. She still has so many visitors and friends that come and see her from the other places that she has lived at. She's not suffering anymore and she went peacefully, God bless her.

But it's hard seeing a grown man cry. T_T

I would Like to make myself believe I became Immune to the Idea of death having worked at the nursing home. It did less and less uncomfortable but it never easy when you get attached to your favorite residents! Its one thing when you see it coming its even harder when it all of a sudden! a matter laughing with them one day and the next day you ask wheres so and so! Than theres a moment of silence while everyone looks at each other waiting to see who would answer!

I don't know, I haven't have a loved one die yet, I think I would feel, wrecked.

i lost 2 of my grandma's one from last year and now 2009...I was really close to them. I cried but i hold back , its hard to see someone you loved just dissappear infront of ya eyes..All you can say to yourself is "please wake up dont go"
