Thursday at work was a rather sad day.. It was the firts time any of my patients didn't make it past breakfast, it was 9.30 when she left this earth. She was a handicapped "rather young" woman in her 60's (although she was like a child). After the death I was standing in there watching her loved ones say goodbye as I looked at my patient. It looked like she was sleeping but you could feel that her spririt wasn't in there anymore. I had the feeling she had moved on and was with her Heavenly Father now, well and loved. It's "funny" how the gospel of Jesus Christ and the beliefs I've grown up with make sense in moments like that. After a little moment of realizing what had just happened and looking at her brother, I had to leave the room. As soon as I got outside, tears rolled down my face and I had to take a break. Another nurse and my boss came and hugged me. After a few hours, and when they had taken her away, I figured I was going to be ok. I will never forget her though... One day I hope to see her again, may she rest in peace.
