Appreciating the Time
Appreciating the Time
I’ve been on several services during my time in medical school where people have passed away. Sometimes it's expected. Other times, it happens all of a sudden. All families react differently, however, a lot of times people don’t get to say a real goodbye. I don’t want to make this too sad but what I think is important is that we never know when something might happen. We should appreciate the time we have with people, as you never know when it will be the last time. As we all get older, there will be situations where it's the last time you may see someone and you want that time to be special. Don’t leave being angry or not being present. Take advantage of the time and opportunities you have been given and know that every day is a gift.
