新不了情

re-watch this film again today. it had always been my favourite. its music, its story and the cast. it reminds me of the people that i work with daily. i may take it as a job and detest the wimpy and grumpy fellow that is lying on the bed. but like will i know of their past, present and future. i salute the family members that come daily to speak words of encouragement and faith into their love ones. while the fact is that they are the ones that really need those encourage and lift in their faiths. i may think they are being difficult but the truth is that is the only way they can express their love for their sick love ones. perhaps that is the only thing and method they can sense that little control in their lives that this point of time. perhaps the road along pallative, a good death is the best way to go. the truth at the end of the journey awaits the faithful one...

i had been thinking... so many people had express their interest in wound management and so had i. how many stoma nurse, wound care management nurse or even vascular do the nation needs? with the greying population and the increase of chronic illness management, perhaps i should pursue my interest in dealing with the dying? although i am high on mercy, i am intolerant to stuff that i can't control. death is certain but the time is beyond my call, the doctors not even the mediums in the temples. but its the will of God to bring the family, the individual through the suffering... who am i to say anything i always feel... plus i always free that a good death is one that not necessary prolong death but to reduce the suffering. i fear my emotions may overtake me and lead me astray if i walk into the grey... hmm... so where am i heading?

There's a Chinese saying “五福臨門” meaning "the blessings of 5 good fortune". The 5th and final 福 refers to 善终 (i.e. a good death). If you read chinese, the url below explains it.

Before I started my nursing training, I wanted to join Palliative care too. I detoured because none of the hospices sponsored SMCP students, and I was told then that one needs a sponsor to get into the course. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise. As a student nurse, I cried (privately in the toilet) when my patients died, even only after caring for them for a few shifts. So I learnt that I cannot make it emotionally in palliative care, not for now anyway.

Btw, thanks for dropping by on my blog. Yes, I was from the SMCP acc nursing course. I am thinking of future studies after I have settled into my new homeland :-)
