Some things you just can't slap a smiley face on top of and pretend they're okay.<BR/><BR/>And when people die, you <I>should</I> feel bad. That's how we know they mattered. That's not something you should be trying to speed through. Feel the pain first, before you try to get past it.<BR/><BR/>I do hope you start feeling better soon, though! I miss your more regularly-scheduled posts!Glaven Q.

My next week of work will not be the same without her there. We had many years of laughter and fun and for that I will always remember and be grateful for her being a part of my life! I've lost a lot of the "frequent flyers" and we call them in the hospital this past year and I think of each one every time I run. One mile for each person-makes the run fun and therapeutic!<BR/>Hang in there! Health care is rough, but so rewarding! :-)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677754284276322596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473746552277403663.post-41914009063992590602009-04-08T18:32:00.000-04:002009-04-08T18:32:00.000-04:00Thanks for taking the time to write even when you ...Thanks for taking the time to write even when you don't want to. I can't imagine doing your job and I'm grateful there are people like you in the world -- grateful for your residents and their families.

I think ...Awwww, I just want to give you a big hug! <BR/><BR/>I think it's amazing that you handle the passing of your residents (and friends) as well as you do, and it's only natural that sometimes it'll just get to be too much. They are so, so lucky to have you. I'm glad you're trying to care for yourself in the ways your brain knows you should, even if your heart isn't in it. I hope the funk starts to lift soon!HChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304951997726221523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473746552277403663.post-56605553042194083402009-04-08T18:16:00.000-04:002009-04-08T18:16:00.000-04:00Hang in there Carrie.
