    I just want to apologise for being depressing before I start but I need to offload and I know this is the best place:A

    For certain reasons I cannot give too many details but will try to explain best I can.

    For the last week I have spent a lot of time in my local ITU sitting with a lady whom I have known for 15months. This is to do with my work although it does not normally involve hospitals and never situations like this :( The lady is only in her early 40's and through complications from a simple operation is now severely ill. Got told the weekend she is unresponsive and they think brain dead, although her heart is beating she is on a respirator. I have sat and talked, laughed and tried my best to be positive not knowing if she can hear anything I am saying:( I found out today that they will be turning the respirator off tomorrow and she will either die or breathe for herself but be faced with a life of 24hr care with no dignity:( . I know I should be more professional and it should not be affecting me this way but this is the first time I have been faced with such a sad situation. I don't know until the morning if I am expected to be there when it happens as she has no close family.
    How will I be strong? I really don't think I can be :(
    when my husband was dying from throat cancer, he had complications, that lead to his airways being block for 13 mins, this lead him to being severly brain damaged. we were told to expect the worst. i sat talking to him all night, i read the sports section of the newspapers. he stabilsed and on xmas day he spent the day crying. i belive this was becasue he realised that he was a "cabbage" or he was sad because he couldnt come home for xmas. i have to say though, having xmas in hospital was one of the better xmas we have had. he died 3 weeks later.:(

    also hubby and myself and son are on the donor register. hubby donated his corneas. he couldnt donate other bits as he didnt die in ITU. but at least he helped alady see her grandchildren.
