I can't stop crying, coworkers have caught me. They want to know what's wrong and my blood boils with hatred for them. This is my 4th shift on death watch with my favorite Grandma for the last 2 years. I've prayed to a God, mother nature and any power out there to take this woman in peace.
My daughter asked me tonight before I went to work how many people I've watched die. I honestly didn't have an answer. 16 years of death and it bothers me more and more. Please help me, I MUST stop crying, but I hurt so bad |

I am sorry that no one noticed the thread yet.
 You have a tough job that requires distancing emotionally from the patients you tend to, but I can totally see why you would become attached to someone like a grandmother. If you are the sensitive type, maybe it is best to let your coworkers understand your empathy for others. I doubt they would judge or embarrass you. In fact, I think they would try to help support these emotional times (though I am not for certain). Please know you have a shoulder to cry on here at PC.

How old is your grandmother? I hope she passes peacefully as well, she is lucky to have loved ones looking after he at this time.
Do you need other relatives to help with some of the responsibility? |

Hello, Dear. I just want to send you hugs. It is always so emotional to work closely with someone we love and are close to losing. Our concerns for their relief and suffering can take a toll. Our capability to feel and connect and care about others is a good thing, and while this hurts you so much it has become overwhelming, you are not alone with this. you ahve reached out and we want you to know we care and will keep you and yours in our prayers and thoughts.
In my own expereince, every time I go through another loss the feelings from every other loss come rushing back on top of this new grief. That is really hard for me, and I suspect that maybe you are expereincing something similar. Take care and be kind to yourself. You are loved and loving and that is the best any of us can be and give to life. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
