I'll be sure and tell you how what I do and see makes me feel. Already, it's making me think...I went to see my patient this afternoon. I wasn't there very long, but it was long enough to have an effect on me. I'm full of thoughts this evening, some of them good, some not so good...some are making me smile, some are bringing me close to tears. But, I'm aware of them, and I'm working through them, so it's all good.
| I think it will. It does all of us. I remember my brief stint with it (about 20 years ago). It smacked me with realities that I had never thought of. |
That's EXACTLY how I'd describe some of the thoughts I've been having this afternoon.
| And most of all....be happy with who you are RIGHT NOW. you may not have a chance to change it later. |
Again, exactly.

While I agree with everyone else here I feel it behoves me to mention that this can {caring for those dieing} have a strong negative impact..
I only mention this to prepare you for what could be harmful feelings. |
Thanks, MM. I'm aware of what feelings may come, and whilst I cannot say that I'm totally prepared for them, I do have outlets for them and people I can talk to about them. The hospice makes bereavement counsellors available for ALL it's employees, paid or otherwise. There's always a social worker on call, so I will always have someone to talk to.
