[…] anyway, just when i thought i was done with the disheartening sad stories, it appeared like i�was challenged by the sad stories gods, because�the last two nights at work proved to be even more saddening. […]

I won’t claim to understand all of the sadness and pain, but I will claim that the compassion delivered by one like you makes all the difference in the world.

I work on a unit where I observe unusual or strange behaviour and more often than not, it is not purposeful or intentional (ie not the patient’s fault). Sometimes it’s the biochemistry, sometimes it’s the trauma they suffered, or sometimes it’s a product of the patient’s psychosocial history. I think we as nurses must always view the glass as half full so that we remain motivated to improve the patient’s quality of life (as much as it can be improved).

Awesome post. The fact that you wrote it in such a way, touching so many people, took that half empty glass and filled it to the brim.There is no way that anyone reading this post won’t look at life a little differently, even if only for a moment.

Half empty and being steadily, irreversibly, and quite deliberately drained.
