*to holden caulfield
i’m tired.
of chasing after the wind.
don’t be alarmed. this is not a suicide note or something.
seeing, touching, hearing, smelling, and feeling
pain, suffering, and death
day in and day out
has its repercussions.
i’m sure you know days like this.

May, I hope after a rest you are feeling better. Take care of you and know that you have lots of friends here. I can’t imagine how you nurses do what you have to do everyday.

I have sympathy with you. I did end of life care today after a break of about 9 to 10 years. They unintubated her- family mourning and grieving balistically- small comfort. Stat’s dropped to 59- tissue death/organ tissue damage at 60%- then spike back to 89 right before her heart stopped. Her body still breathing but her heart stopped.
Sadness.
Tis is such in the ICU.
