Natural Life Cycle


Hmmm,I do feel like wanna post something in my blog.
I feel so moody now recalled back those scenes happened in my ward yesterday,that day I told you all I saw the terminally ill patient was being rescuing in the High Dependency Unit(HDU)?At the end,he had gone peacefully instead of suffering from the pain,sad to heard this news during my morning shift I still saw him lying on the bed as usual.In a sudden his condition became more critical result in all the doctors who following his case came and have a look on his condition.His family members all rushing to the hospital during his critical time.Unfortunately his blood pressure getting low and low,dropping more dramatically until the last pulse totally stop...

"Dying is as natural as living and should be celebrated with the same sense of adventure and welcome as birth. Sadly, many of us have created an unnatural fear of death. And it’s only when we accept that dying is part of our cycle, that we will begin to find peace. " by Father Bill Haymaker

It's weird whenever got patient passed away,the ward will be come uncommonly peaceful,quiet and silence but it is also a good sign to let the patient leave peacefully.I know it’s a common occurrence to see people at the end of their lives, moving between a peaceful calm and an anxious state. There is clearly a struggle in their spirit to live. And it’s a fact that the strength of that spirit is undeniably tied to their struggle to remain on this earthly plain. Even though their physical bodies are failing and damaged beyond our ability to repair, the powerful spirit within that individual – that deep instinct to protect our human shell, fights to accept any kind of quality of life that is offered them.Death is that moment of passing that comes as the spirit acknowledges that these mortal remains are no longer able to sustain its presence. And it is okay to acknowledge this, to accept it as yet another part of our journey.
