I hope you dont mind me sounding a bit long winded...so here goes I dont think that coping with death necessarily has to just be nurses. Before I decided to become a nurse, I just finished a tour in the US Army this past June 2003. I saw lots of deaths and different types, accidents to inentional. I feel, that the person coping should not think of how they themselves are, but in fact the person who is dying is the most important at that moment and time, not me. You see the person who is suffering, will reflect what they see in your face in how you speak to them and how you react to them, and to many times we as individuals lose sight at what is really important....we have to comfort those suffering so that way, when it is time for them, so that they feel that its okay to let go, and not be so afraid ... of course thats just my opinion, but its based on my life experiences... :stone
