We having a patient who declined quickly she was in a wheelchair threatening to cut my wrists at one minute and the next she was on hospice in a bed on oxygen and when we came to work today she had passed away 😢
Dealing with this has been hard on me mentally and I'm looking for advice!

Be happy in knowing you did what you could for this woman. You were kind and patient and respectful. You may have been a bright light in this woman's day. In your career this will not be the last person who will pass on. Let yourself cry for them, then go on.

It helps me to believe the spirit continues. Long ago I read "Life After Life?" by Raymond Moody. Moody interviewed 150 people who had undergone near-death experiences (NDEs). The book presents the author's composite account of what it is like to die.
