i was enjoying myself in chat and work came up. ok, to most not a big deal...well i started thinking about my work day....i went in on a "normal" day and was told that a patient was "waiting to die". his family decided to make him a DNR (do not rescusitate) after a long battle with cancer. i didn't even know the family, but tried to make myself available to them (as the "charge nurse"
for anything that they needeed. well sadly he died soon after....i rubbed a couple shoulders, sincerely said i'm sorry.......but did it help? probably not....his wife and daughter were the only ones there! did they know me....NO, but i wished them the best at the time.....he was in my prayer that day...and then my day moved on. not the right thing as my day should have been consumed with his loss, but there were things to do. yes, he was important and he was kucky enough to pass with loved ones at his side, but it should have been better....i hope he was greeted at the gates with the trumpets and love..........FAITH...........
