Last week was a whirlwind! I observed as my little patient was laid to rest. Excitedly, I was able to meet his paternal grandparents and his maternal grandfather. My heart aches for his parents and their families. I keep in touch with his Mom. As I stated to her, we are in a club that no-one wants to be in... but we are... we are unwilling members... the loss of a child. We understand the depths of our pain... the depths of our loss. We will help each other through the loss.
Here is a quick run-down of my week last week: Sunday, trip two hours away to see the house we might move into; Monday, patient's visitation and packing; Tuesday, patient's funeral services, didn't pack any. Wednesday, paint all four rooms of the house we are moving into (yeah, it's that big), pack when get back home; Thursday, finish packing and move. I have spent the past few days unpacking, organizing. Yes, we have moved again. Back to where we came from... a small town of approximately 3,000. What a change! Just like the move to the large metro area, this move was also unwanted by me, but wanted by my husband. He remains unemployed since October. I am making a job change, not sure which area I want to venture into next with my nursing. We will see what God has in store.
