To be able to wash and feed themselves would be a treat. Staying in hospice for end-of-life care. A trip outside to the garden can be in the too-hard basket. To be able to mow the lawn again would be a luxury for some people. The loss of independence and assault on a person’s dignity.

She had been feeding well. They all went home when her dad’s pain was controlled. I next saw her a few weeks later. She had put on weight, her cheeks were chubby. Her little arms and legs looked bigger. When she smiled two dimples would appear. Her dad wasn’t doing so well, he didn’t feel like eating.

To the deeper emotions – of loss and grief, of wonder and transcendence – that are at the heart of the complex care we provide. Loss, Losing and Loosening, poetry for grief and loss .

So, she was in a pathetic stage and she had no way of coming and seeing the mother because she had to feed the children from her earnings.

Suffering is also witnessed by so many of us when we turn on the evening news, listen to the radio, or scroll through a news app on our phone or our Facebook feed. Nurses too live with debt, personal tragedy, and grief and loss -- we also strive to create the best lives we possibly can for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.

My grandpa who let me bottle feed abandoned lambs and cranked homemade peach ice cream in August. I don’t know how long it took to understand you’d died. My favorite loving grandpa who took me to the barn and perched me on a cow while he milked by hand, squirting warm milk in the metal bucket.

Dad wanted to take her home, he knew that he could feed her food she would like, and that home rehabilitation could be considered. Despite Dad feeding her five small meals a day, she was shrinking fast. Functionally she was improving gradually but still could not walk independently.

When he came home, he would go out in this huge garden that was big enough to feed the Seventh Fleet and there were only four of us kids. Closing the books helps everyone with their grief cycle journey. For some reason, they always put it off. My dad worked his whole life. He didn't know how to recreate, he just worked.

Don't wake them up to feed them or give them water or take medicine, just let them sleep, the body's doing what it's supposed to do. Important point here. I know that can be hard sometimes to watch. And we're so used to making sure that our loved one gets their meds and their food and the toileting and washing and everything on time.
