If doctors sent condolence letters to the families of patients who have died, we’d be talking about a model of care that acknowledges that healing and hope not only exist while sustaining life, but also when life ends. —via healthing_ca Iamlisamachado
It turned out that among this bunch, attending patient funerals wasn’t a thing. In fact, not only had none of them ever been to a patient’s funeral, they also admitted to never reaching out to the families who were left — even the ones they had known for a long time. Not a phone call, or a card, or even an email.
I had a similar feeling when I spotted a few of the personal support workers who had cared for my dad in the audience as I said the eulogy at his funeral. That they took time away from their work and families to be with us as we said goodbye was, in itself, so nice. But it also sent an important message to our grieving family — especially to my mom — that his life didn’t go unnoticed; that he was more than a just a job to them; that he mattered.
