Two of my patients died tonight.
Both DNR. Both comfort care. Both in their fifties.
Today was the first ever day I had a patient die while I was there, and I had two patients die.
It is really intense seeing someone's very last breath.
I did not keep them alive 'til 7:05.
Instead of trying to stay awake and do something productive this morning, I took a shower and went straight to bed. Then I woke up and went to lunch/dinner with a friend and bought myself flowers.
Just trying to remember the song: "Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness. Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed thy hands have provided. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me."
"Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:55,57
