The hospice nurse and I admitted “Theresa” to hospice this afternoon. Theresa was diagnosed with cancer just one month ago. She has chosen no treatment as is aware of possible side- affects that do happen. Theresa is widowed and has no children. She shared that her last family member died about three years ago.
Theresa has
lived in the same town for most of her life.
She has many supportive friends who live nearby. To her, realistically,
they are her family. She has such a
positive attitude about life. She has always accepted whatever comes her
way. Her strong Christian faith helps
her cope. She knows that “He” is always
nearby. She is such a role model for all
of us.
HE
She is
totally independent;
well able to
care for her needs.
She was
recently diagnosed with cancer.
She has
chosen no treatment at all.
She is
widowed and has no children.
Her last
family member died a while back.
She has many
local, supportive friends.
They are definitely
her family to her.
She has a
very positive attitude about life.
She easily
receives what comes her way
as has
totally accepted her cancer diagnosis.
It is her
strong Christian faith that helps her cope.
When asking
her about any fears or concerns,
she will
immediately point her finger toward the sky;
while
strongly stating her powerful belief,
“He does look out for me”.
She is
ninety-six years old, but so very young.
She has
embraced her life each and every day.
She knows
she will be okay no matter what.
“He will always take care
of me”.
