It is difficult to know what are the criteria to go to where the masks and costumes, it depends how it is to the disease or infection, capable of renewal.
ReplyDeleteIf it's conscience, a light entertainment. Shake hands, I wonder if you need something or want. After a meeting with the nurse if they can get what she asks. If she has pain, the answer that you may not, though in pain, keep your visit. It is difficult for some people can leave their grief and entertainment are trying to hide it. If it sits comfortably with him speak, what they have in common. If you cry, it's left .... and hold her hand just to be there for them.
I am your friend who has never gotten tired of those we love to see in this way.
Try to be as normal as possible, while at the same time, compassion and love. Often it is necessary to say something, his mere presence is enough. A lot really depends on your relationship with this friend and how close they were. The house where my son was dying, had three of his best friends in the plane to be at his side. Basically, all appreciate the time that remains. . talk normally. . joked as appropriate. . it was not necessary to go into any kind of "discussions", because friends who have very close and the new wells. I am very proud of these young people and how they are treated, which is a very sad moment. I could go to them. . but I think you get the picture. . My children, they were friends of his death and lived through the best and worst moments.
ReplyDeleteI do not know what stage your friend now. . If it is essential to actively prepare to be surprised by his appearance. If your condition is "terminal" and I do not know how long it will last. . to another stage. . If I could live for a few days or months (hopefully) years. . They know that the disease will one day kill him. If your friend is actively arrangements will not die. . maskless. . They are there to support her and her family during the transition. It may be on oxygen. It may be uncomfortable. She can not sleep the whole time they are there and not even know that you came. If death is active. . can not talk with her at all. . But she knows that you were there. Unless they want to call your residence or family. . it is better to make your stay very, very short walk, and. That is all that is necessary.
I have a niece who has leukemia. She was diagnosed at age 2 and was shortly thereafter I visited for the first time in the hospital when she was sick. It was hard to go into pediatric oncology, because I have seen many very sick patients with cancer in children (children to youth) in her room, connected to a bunch of machines. Most of them have lost their hair. Some were very thin, some appeared in good health, had some kids like my niece, a little chubby (because I) taking steroids at the time - a part of the treatment. It varies really. As I walked down the aisle, I could not help with my 2 years and I feel nothing but love and compassion for the families who passed. She opened my eyes to a world I do not know too soon. It was a mixture of emotions that I have experienced. I had outside the room for one or) two minutes before the cool head, because he wanted to be strong for my niece and get my brother and sister to stay (his parents. I do not want in the ball room of the house. While I waconscious on the floor to gather his composure, a doctor and other people involved in the test. All I heard was screaming because I had severe pain at the time, every time you moved and verify the documentation. It was heartbreaking. When the medical team left me and my niece slept. He was accompanied by several IV, sleeping at the time, so I do not want to wake her, because he urgently needed rest at this time. It was a teddy bear in bed with her he had a band IV for him - his mother said, she plays with him and tried to give medicine to bear it. I stayed awhile and talked to my sister and law have only heard everything, he knows I'm there for you need me, and gave hugs. Doctors / nurses came and went a few times on the test results, which seem to lead to new questions. Then, finally, has the medical team came here because I gave him a large quantity of tests.
ReplyDeleteAs for the atmosphere and appearance, I think it depends. My mother also had breast cancer and ended up in the ICU due to complications of chemotherapy. When I saw her was extremeley thin (though his nose was thin), had no hair (eyebrows, eyelashes, has not) and is inconsistent. One day she said that all 404 days. There was always someone at his side, and sometimes wakes up and looks at me and go back to bed - I think it's reassuring to know we were there, because she smiled. I have used masks for the first few days, because he and neutropenia.
Hopefully, your friend is coherent and has some good conversations with her. My advice would be, let them talk all they want to talk - even unpleasant (for you, as when she speaks of death).
