:crying2:I am so sad, my sister is dying. don't want advice, just needed to tell someone who would understand. I couldn't make myself go, the nurse part of me knows exactly what they are doing. The sister side of me wants to say, noooooooooo. My wonderful, caring, supportive sister. The one I always went to when things didn't make sence. She hasn't spoken a word in 2 weeks. My heart is breaking. I've helped so many people over the years. Why can't I help her. I couldn't bare to be there when they shut off the vent, when they give her the morphine. Why didn't I have the strength to go hold her hand and tell her it's ok to go. I've done it for patients, why couldn't I do it for her? Sorry if I have babled, my heart is breaking. I am sitting here waiting for my brother in law to call and tell me it's over. I've wanted to tell all of you for a while now, but couldn't make myself type the words. I knew what was coming the first night, after they told me she coded and she was without oxygen for over 5 minutes, I knew what had happened. Thanks for reading, I can't see the keys from the tears. God Bless you all:redpinkhe
:oMy sister's heart beats no more. This morning she died. Part of my heart went with her. I just don't know what to say to all of you for all your prayers and kindness you have shown me. Thank you from me and my family. :redpinkhe
I am sorry to hear this. I was searching your thread for the past few days for word of her status. May you have strength for yourself and your family.
She took part of us, too. Nurses have big hearts that keep growing and get attached. It's an honor when one from our tribe takes a piece. God bless you and your family. Stay in touch so we can help you to heal.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
