I'm late but hugs from me too. I'm so sorry, it's got to be so hard emotionally on you. But if you look at it the other way, they got cared by by someone that cared and you eased them on into heaven with a gentle touch. Maybe they're not vultures so much as angels overhead.
Oh Tam! How do you always manage to turn something that feels so terrible and wrong and painful into something beautiful? Maybe that´s the gift of a great writer, but you always manage to give a new perspective nonetheless. Part of the reason why it´s so hard with those patients is that although I do care...I don´t really feel like I´m doing much for them. There is so much more I would want to do. But most of the time, is barely more than providing them with meds to let them die painlessly and be attentive that they don´t suffer unnecessarily.
