Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 R, My dad was in an assisted living his last month followed by hospice of course. He died after 10 mths of having brain cancer. His caregivers came to his funeral. He had made such an impression on them. (I', getting goosebumps and crying just typing this). I miss him very much. He was a doctor and he told them to be proud of their jobs and he called them his Angels. They were wonderful people. I would like to eventually go into that field myself. Thank you for the job you do. Not only did you make your hospice patients comfortable but their families as well. Paris [ ] Re: OT bad week for us and group; are you a nurse? Do you work with the elderly? My kitten will settle down I guess in a few months. I hope so anyway. I have worked with many elderly that passed. THey just shut down. It was really hard to see them go. I have fond memories of them. gentle hugs Clora ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Everyone always tells me not to get close to them but I do and it always hurts. We all end up crying and holding the other employees when someone passes.

Your a caregiver. You sound very knowledgeable in medicine. Your very special . I was a caregiver for a while. It is a fullfilling job. Yes one knows when they are ready to go. I had a few go on me. I was really broken when a few of them passed. I prayed with one right before she passed. I was broken when any of them passed, but a few I got close to cause I worked on the south end of the building. God bless you . gentle kind hugs Clora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I lost my grandmother nearly 4 years ago in assisted living. Wish I knew about hospice like I do now, she ended up with septicemia after two horrible rounds of pneumonia (MARSA). Yes I went to the funeral too. I have to. It is a support system for the families at that point. Sorry about your dad Paris, glad you had hospice on board though!
