If you have not read this blog post! I highly recommend that you do. We Must See Past What it Seems
A friend posted this on my facebook wall after I updated my status from a quote I found; "
That day I felt broken. I need acknowledgement of the pain I am going through. And I feel like so many forget and even more don't know what my pain is like.
Every day I deal with patients complaining to me of their physical pain; how bad their shoulder hurts, how much their back hurts, how they can't do the recreational activities that they want to do because of physical pain. Yes, I understand their pain. I've been through it myself but for once I would like someone to just ask me how I am doing. It gets old listening to their complaints and not being able to share mine. However, that is my fault. Many I choose not to share my personal grief with only because I want most of my relationships to be professional and not personal with patients. I think when I am feeling this way I really need to remember this article and remember that not only are they dealing with physical pain but they could be dealing with grief just like mine.
I need to learn to be less selfish...however, some days I would like a sign around my neck so people might be gentle with me.
:::HUGS::: to those who need them for whatever reason!!!
