Saturday again...it seems that Saturday has become my day to read blogs, and to blog a bit myself. (even though I know that I am mostly writing to myself because no one else reads this) My last day at hospice was Wednesday...a very bittersweet day, indeed. Turns out I have touched many lives there,(by the grace of God) and I was blessed with wonderful notes and cards, and by being taken out for yummy lunch and dinner! I was the last one to leave the office that night, and it seemed fitting that way...and no one else could see my tears, which was good. I loved my work there...I made such wonderful connections with many wonderful people. Entering into the sacred journey of approaching death is a true gift...I knew I was often on holy ground. It is a situation that lends itself to an acceleration of the "normal" getting to know someone...time is surreal and connections are focused and strong most of the time. I already miss the people I worked with, but the company just suffered too much mis-management and also suffered from the cuts in Medicare funding, so I know it was the right thing to go now, when my job was mostly eliminated(I could've stayed on part-time for now, but I need a full-time job with health insurance, since I am the "provider" for my family).
