Pay it Forward (12)
Jacy30: somehow I think this relates to the movie: Pay if Forward... I heard it was a great movie, and it was.. it didn't have the usual happy ending that any good movie would have, but neither does life..and that's the beauty of life. Life isn't about happy endings, it's about moving forward and learning lessons along the way, making a mark on this world.
Pay it Forward.
Much Love,
Jacy

It was & is a great movie, more people should watch it and learn from it..
Life has a happy ending.. Maybe we just need to change our perception about death..
When you do not learn the lesson, you will repeat it.. "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear"...
My 70 something neighbor called me at 7:45 this morning, asked me if I would take her to the ER. Found out she has "P-monia" and will be there a couple of days minimum..
Now there is a lady many people could learn many things from..

Jacy30: Pay it Forward: Life and Death
I recently found out that some patients that I took care of during my clinicals in CNA class have died. And somehow I think this relates to the movie: Pay if Forward... I heard it was a great movie, and it was.. it didn't have the usual happy ending that any good movie would have, but neither does life..and that's the beauty of life. Life isn't about happy endings, it's about moving forward and learning lessons along the way, making a mark on this world.
It leaves me bittersweet... motivated to help others yet sad when those you have helped or have helped others are gone. I do believe that if you recieve help, it's only right to try to find a way to pay it back in the form of helping others.. it doesn't have to stop at "3 people" per person... really that is just an idea..but if you were really passionate about it, why only 3 people? Why not try and help as many people as you can? Haven't other's helped you in some way? Haven't you been touched or influenced by someone else? If not, why don't You try and touch or influence someone else and see what it does for you.
Upon hearing of the news that some of my "favorite" patients recently passed away.. (in reality I found that I loved them all equally) I looked up their obituaries, and some I stumbled upon on accident and was even more saddened yet appreciated for the opportunity I had to know them while they were here.
Have you ever read an obituary? No, really READ it? Although I got to learn their personalities I didn't really get to know about who they were before they had Dementia, before they got sick before they were unable to communicate or function they way they used to.
I also found that THEY have helped me more than they could ever know. How could I as a CNA (or to them I was their nurse without the tilte of RN) NOT have these feelings? How could I NOT grieve for them too, despite the fact that I only knew and cared for them for a short time? How do you cope when you lose a patient and you didn't realize you were even attached to? Well I suppose it is to continue to Pay it Forward, and learn the value of treating others as you would want to be treated.
This is in memory of a few patients who died this year and from each of you I took something special and learned about humanity. Much love to Flora, Jane, Joyce, Ellen, Nancy(CNA),
(I know there were others who passed away, the ones who I got to hold hands with as they were dying) And for those who are still living I encourage you to find a way to touch someone else's life...
Pay it Forward.
Much Love,
Jacy

Honnin Myo, my friend. From this day into the future. Wouldn't life be a lot less strife-filled if we all lived this way?

I haven't seen that movie. Yet I do agree, finding a way to touch someone else's life is great. Brings to mind the quote from William Courtenay I think it is....
"I expect to pass through this world but once: if therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
Great post

Thank you for reminded us all that we need to be kind and help others.Yes I said need,cause it makes you the helper feel better and in time you'll be in need.I do alot of volunteering and partly it's selfish.I get out of it either a feeling of accomplishment,learn something maybe I didn't know etc.People say thank you,I say no thank you.The qoute "It takes a village to raise a child" as native americans believe in a tribe.
Jacy your in the right position.I worked in hospital too and someone with your attitude is going to do great as an asset to your employer.

Thank you Jacy for the nice thread. I have seen the movie and cried through most of it. I am a unit secretary and I get attached to the patients as well so I know what you are talking about. I have held many older peoples hands while none of the family were around. Especially our regulars.
Thank you reminding us of this.

Awww.. Thanks Shirley, my mom was a Unit Secretary in the ER but it seems like she did more patient care than administrative. I work for a Practice of 5 MD's and 2 FNP's as a Medical Receptionist (with on occasion I substitute as a Medical Assistant) I know that the quality of service given to the patients by the front end people (the receptionists,etc) can be just as important to them!
