yes..many times..
when my grandmother passed away from cancer. when my grandfather passed away from cancer 4 years after that. My heart and mind couldn't take the grief and pain and I was hospitilized because of it.
when i thought I might lose my daddy.
when I thought I was having a miscarriage and again when he was born healthy and beautiful
when I lost one of my best friends in a car accident along with her two children and brother.
Again when last year a car accident claimed the life of another dear friend.
today upon hearing the news that someone I loved very much had died from a massive heart attack. he was 96..gone way too soon..
while watching a documentary about a woman who had alzheimers in my CNA class.
When my dogs were found shot by hunters
everytime i hurt the person i love by being to weak to do the right thing
but i believe that crying is a part of healing. the things i have mentionaed above are all things that have taught me lessons and I was able to come through a better and stronger person.
My grandparents having died from cancer is one of the main reasons I am becoming a CNA and hopefully afterwards a RN. I love people and I love helping others out who can't do it themselves any longer. be it helping them live..or helping them die. My grandparents have been gone for several years now but I still remember the faces and the love and kindness that the cna's and nurses showed while caring for them. Esp my granfather. If i can repaythat kindness by offering my own then I will do so and do it proudly. For many years I wondered where I 'fit in' and it wasn't until recently i truly knew.
Lessons..painful as they may be..can shape your life
to all who have shared their tears
