You are a very special woman to be able to be a Hospice worker.  {{{{hugssss}}}}

Along with going to funerals of loved ones I work with the elderly, as well as Hospice. Death is much too familiar. Sometimes it can just overwhelm me, but most of the time I am able to work my way thru and I do believe they are at rest. .

{{{{BIG HUGSSSSS}}}} for you Katlupe. I'm so glad that you had your dad for so long. Maybe when he passes, he will sit and chat with my dad and they can talk about how great their daughters are

I agree with that. I am going through a process now, that I am certain will end with the death of my wonderful father. He is 93 years old, lived a very independent life until he had a stroke a couple of weeks ago. Now he has Pneumonia and is back in the hospital. I believe they released him too soon a few days ago. So hard to deal with because I love him so much, but he is prepared to go and I am his health care proxy and it is so hard to say do not prolong his life. But he trusted me out of everyone with his affairs and I have to live up to that trust.

If I sing, people would die.

Okay, I don't sing THAT bad, but pretty close to it. LOL

I do sing when I'm alone and it does bring peace.

Singing songs of worship can be soothing too...I reckon there are many others

I've never had anyone close to me die suddenly apart from 2 grandparents.  They were very very old so it wasn't so much of a shock.  I'm not sure how I would cope if someone close to me were to die.  I have a phobia of death and try not to think about it ever.  Thats probable not very healthy though.

I try not to think about it either. Death feels so final sometimes.
