As I may have mentioned, I’m studying to be an end of life doula (a death doula) and although it’s still early in my training, I have found that helping people at the end of their life is much more rewarding than all the other noise. The other day I interacted with a woman younger than me who was at the end. Her body had more heat emanating from it than I’d ever felt. But when I held her hand, I felt the life energy she once had. I was only in there for about 10 minutes and she was essentially non-responsive. She died that evening. But she touched my life in a way that no one ever has. As a physician I’ve seen people die but this is a much different scenario than in a hospital. You can feel the peace and you can be grateful she has had some impact on your life. We all have the ability to impact others and be impacted by them. But we have to find the quiet and let it all in. The way we are right now, we can’t do that because there is no quiet. I am grateful to this woman and for this class for helping me see what’s truly important in life. You can apply the same concepts to people in your life who are experiencing unknown or bad diagnoses. Touch them but also let them touch you.
