My Hospice job is inside the Rehabilitation hospital so I've seen the pt

I knew he was joking

He isn't doing too well they gave him 24hrs to live (cry)
In the last few hrs while at work I've been in and out of his room a lot
I've comfort his wife gave her my cookies and anything else I could to make her feel at home
I can't help but to worry...
I got to know alot of the fam now
Oh his wife tells all their friends I'm her husband's gf lol
we are trying to keep things light
oh I wish I could comfort her right now
Or know how he is doing
I love my job but I get attached to my pts especially if I had already spent time with them....
I worked in a nursing home, i know how you feel. I had one patient who was just the sweetest person in the world. She was always high spirit until one day she didn't want to get out of bed. She went straight down hill in a matter of days. Her DD was there by her side every chance she got. I would go in there and read to my pt and talk to her and make her get up and use the restroom while the other staff member waited until she was soaked to change her and her sheets cause they "didn't want to bother her". When she passed i did cry. Her DD came in the next day and was waiting for me when i walked onto my hall. She gave me a huge hug and said that i gave her mother the best last days of her life. She said that just by doing the little things i did helped her know that when she had to leave her mom was well cared for.
Just being there for them is doing a world of difference, you may not think so, but you are doing a great thing, not many people can do what you do. I quit shortly after my PT died. I couldn't get attatched and watch them die one by one.
The girl at work say
I brought your baby lol
If she were to pass I would cry!
She is my only one besides my new guy
So I'm with her all day when I'm there...
It is definitely hard when someone you become attached to in that setting passes away. I used to work in a similar setting but it wasnt hospice. I would worry if the resident had to be put in hospital until they were back home. I worked alot of respite to help family members get a break they needed emotionally.
Are these really inappropriate pictures? *pics*
Does sex in the 1st 30 days kill a relationship?
