Oh Natalie, my heart breaks. I had tears in my eyes reading her obituary. Obviously you are fantastic at what you do, that comes across craystally in that. HUGS. Was she the first patient you have lost? Obviously, she touched your very big heart. HUGS to you, miss you!!
Oh goodness no. She is not the first. She was a very special lady, even into the end. I have lost many many. So many in fact, that instead of losses, I try to think of them as gains. I need to find a way to optimize and have my patients get the most out of their lives, no matter how much life they have left. I'm going back to the medicine teams on Tuesday, and I end up doing a lot of palliation. It is very stressful, and I have been keeping it bottled up. You can't go through heavy subjects - life and death situations - and go home to your family and friends and me normal. Small talk ceases. Maybe I'll use LJ more as an outlet. I don't watch TV anymore. Nobody could make up the things I see day after day.
