Arts and Writing by Sherry

When I became a certified nurse aide in a nursing home, I took on the technical skills of explaining grieving with the family and friends and my patients who were at end of their life. I gave compassion and empathy and I felt hurt and pain when they felt hurt and pain and made them comfortable when they needed comfort I tried to put myself in their shoes and follow along their stairway to heaven with them, It was sad and my biological clock went walking backwards with emotions and sorrow, No one needs to die. When I lose someone important in my life I always try to ask my friend a priest to give the person, a blessing and last rights, to them because that’s how I feel.. Life is so precious.
