I lost my father last year due to Cancer, When I wnet home to see him during his treatment, i was never happy. I always felt sadness seeing him suffering.A man who raised his kids on his own, refusing to take over jamindari of his father and always stood up for his principle. Cancer and treatment had made him weak and I always had tears hidden in my eyes. My father was always happy as usual but I could not bring fake smile. my presence I think made him weaker as he could sense my sadness, used to try to cheer me up, by mocking and playing with my kids . He would have been 60 yrs today.
Last week I lost my friend who was 32 yrs and left her spouse and two school going kids. She was undergoing the treatment for last two yrs but full of life. Was laid off from her teaching job due to treatment as she had become very fragile. But yet she she did not let anyone feel sorry for her and started her MS. Just two weeks prior to her death, she rceived her degree.
Now my question is how do youreact with patient that you know have these diesease. I may have been very week in both instances as I refused to visit my friend for almost a year. I only spoke to her on phon. It is hard to see an active person so fragile. I want to keep her active memory in my mind. Because for my father, since I was with him a month before he passed away, so I have that fragile memory more instead of the memory of pleasant days with him. Unfortunately, even my kids remember him that way as they really didnot get much time to spent with him as they were too little then.
Is it possible to be brave with such patients, specially when they are so near and dear 😕 I failed miserably in that 😭. Bravo to those who are able to do that👏
Sorry if I am not making any sense as bit upset 😭
