Just ran my first full arrest, I thought we could get them back but weren't able to. :( I'm kinda suprised at how sad I feel. I didn't even know the guy.
I dealt with that many times in the years that I worked as a CNA in the nursing homes. I remember losing my first patient.. I cried for a good while afterward.. It does eventually get easier.... You never stop being sad ( if you do then you have lost your humanity) but it does get easier... It always helped me to realize that you did everything you could for them and in the end you were at least there for them... It may not be as bad for you as I remember it being, but if you need to talk you know how to reach me.. Hugs..
