Tonight one of my residents is dying. Hospice was called in and the family came in and I just hugged them and passed out boxes of tissues. It takes just as much nrg to bring life into the world as it does leaving it. The nrg was tight. I guess. I don't know how to describe it other than that. I guess I never how easy it is for me to pick up on such vibrations. I wish the family peace and her to. I told the daughter she has people waiting on her so she won't be alone. We hugged and she cried and I did too. I told her to keep talking to her Mom that the sense of hearing is the last to go. My heart goes out to the family.
I am lucky to work this facility because I can do personal care like put lotion on people and give them the extra care which I love to do. It took me a while to get use to this place but I think it will be ok. It started out rough but it will be doable. There will always be drama but it least it's not crazy bad. Work up in the Bristo and take care of those peeps and then that is it. I don't have to go downstairs and face that hairy crowd. It'll be ok. I need to get a bite to eat and head off to bed. I know this sounds terrible but I hope she passes quickly. I hate to see anyone hanging on unless someone isn't there that needs to be before she passes on. Trust me I have seen people wait till a certain someone shows up and then they go. Sometimes they need to be told to go to the other side that we will be ok on this side. It gives them peace which makes it easier on them.
