This is usually the act of someone who is filled with self loathing and they need all the support and compassion that a nurse would give any other person with an illness. I cannot tell you how many nurses have looked at my daughter with disgust and dismissal. It hurts. <br /><br />I am glad that you shared this story.Mrs. Dubosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693688312724871737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-30413545752575487762013-05-28T15:05:54.468-04:002013-05-28T15:05:54.468-04:00Wow that is so well written.

Even if you did know ahead of time this was it, it wouldn't have changed the outcome. Your calmness hopefully comforted him though.

I told someone a few times things were going to be alright during a 45 minute ambulance ride to the hospital, I ended up seeing their obituary in the paper the next day. <br /><br />It is amazing to me how people do have this sense of doom when their life is near the end. <br /><br />This was a powerful story and I am sure you will be glad you go the words down.

I'm an addictions counselor at a residential treatment program and sometimes see the patients on their way out of treatment too early, later hearing about overdoses and suicide attempts. It never gets easier, especially after getting to know them and seeing them in a different light. Thanks for sharing this story.

I'm going into work as a clinical psychologist, and although we typically see those who overdose before and after the actual incident, I typically am able to block it out when I go home. Until I met a guy around my age with a heroin addiction and terribly sad story. Instead of remaining objective, I went home that night and just cried. Cried for the childhood that was stolen from him and for the damage he was doing to himself despite many overdoses and failed treatments. Some patients just affect you like that.
