Just got back from the hospital:(

They allowed me to sit with her for a few hrs before taking her off the respirator. I just sat held her hand and talked. The Dr then came in and I knew it was time. I was dreading that moment but it was nothing like I expected, she carried on breathing for nearly an hr, all so peaceful and serene, She finally passed at 3.58pm when the angels came to take her.
She looked so peaceful, and free of pain.
I cried but did not care,it seemed to be the most natural thing to do, so did one of the nurses (she was new to ITU and this was her first time dealing with something like this) bless her :A.

I think I am now just numb from it all, I feel empty inside.

As sad as it has been I am so glad I had the pleasure of knowing this lady and even in her last minutes I am sure she knew I was with her, and as silly as it seems she has now given me strength to never fear death.

A big thank you to you all for all the support you have shown me, I mean that from the bottom of my heart :A


Now I have to get back to work (my employers have not even mentioned me having a few hrs off this evening, although its only 2 hrs) Perhaps it might be a good thing as it keeps my mind off it all and there are others that need me also

i dont think that is an acceptable way of descirbing someone wheather you like them or not.:(

Possibley in descriptive phrases we should put " to my eyes she seemed like ..." and then the description is a personal take on someones appearance and then no one can take offense.

One of our CS girls had a permenant frown and a look of utter misery on her face and I always wondered what tragic events were taking place in her life.

I dont think it was just working for t that made her so miserable, she was there for years and I dont think she ever had a day off, lived behind that desk ....

I avoided the place if I saw her there and other times when I had to deal with her I was always over nice and sweet and kind to her but it never made any difference

Not seen her recently but there are others in training.

I can't even imagine going through what you have just experienced. You are a strong person and have given someone the best possible start to their new life
