Another row of Death related shows...
Becoming a doctor, we will be faced with the tough decisions and long work hours everyday.
But a even more difficult task is to bring bad news. When death occurs, it's hard to come about to tell the family members that their loved one died. I don't know how to handle death. I would guess it's easier to say it, but not to actually be symphatetic, emphatetic...
"I'm sorry. We did all we can but we cannot save him. It was probably his time. There was nothing that we could do. It's God's will..." ("Oh yeah, by the way... How do you feel about organ donation?")
Everytime I watch a death scene, or epic battles, I get weak. It's not sadness, but I feel like crying, but there are just no tears. Sometimes I may go back hours later to just curl up and cry. But it's making me numb. I don't know how to handle death.
How will you be handling it if your loved one goes where you can't follow?
An anology is that, if a person is going to migrate somewhere and there is a chance that you may never see that person again, how would you feel?
Watching war epics, there is a sense of honour in it, that the person died with honour in battle fighting for what they felt was right. But I guess life is just a big battle itself, and dying in it means that you go with honour.
Lessons we have to learn:
Don't give too high hope
Don't give false hope
Don't make promises
I want to go down 'singing'
