RE: A HOSPICE NURSE’S STORY: Death In a California Town
This is a really personal and heartfelt story @travelman. A lot different to your normal posts, that's for sure. Sorry for your loss. I imagine that was a difficult job.
The quality of your writing is improving all the time as well. I can see it just in the the time we've had SWM up and running. I think this is your best piece of writing yet.
Yeah, travel’s nowhere in the tags. Thank you for the nice compliments. I feel that by writing multiple times a week the speed of my writing has improved. It takes me less time to write and edit something halfway presentable. The ephemeral nature of steemit keeps me from spending too much time on any post Yet, I still spend too much time though because my writing is a labor of love- In fact I’m spending too much time editing this response as I go.
I have a disordered mind, everything spills onto the table at once like a child dumping a bin of legos. It takes me a while to put it all together. I have to cut myself off from going back and reworking sections. It pains me to look back and read poorly constructed sentences I left abandoned on the side of the steemit highway.
It was a difficult job but not in the ways that you would guess. I don’t think of the patients passing as my loss, it was merely the end of our time together. The difficult part of the job was the on-call and the constant texting from the office. I alway felt on alert and it was difficult to turn off the job.
Congrats on getting curied. This post totally deserved it.
