Working on a Mother Baby unit, I normally experience life more than death. We occasionally have an antepartum patient that we have cared for long term that has a fetal demise, which is very emotional for the staff, as well as the family involved. The long term antepartum patients become part of our family. Many do not have visitors throughout the day or work week, so the staff is their means of socialization. We develop a relationship with each patient. We attend their baby showers at the hospital, can describe the décor of the babies nursery, we comfort them when they cry because they are lonely or feel detached from their families, and laugh with them in their awkward moments. The worst feeling in the world is not to be able to find the babies heart tones, and tell the mother that the life inside her has gone. Usually, the mother already knows and is just waiting for confirmation. I have currently attended a training workshop, Resolve for Sharing that instructed the staff of how to manage the care of the family and the baby after delivery. Respect, sympathy, and empathy are all a part of the caring process.
Death effects each one of us differently. Each experience is different. I have worked on med/surg and ICU units and lost patients. I have grieved with the families, and have been truly moved by the experience. I feel it is an honor to assist in the postmortem care. The cleansing gives you a time to reflect, as well as prepare the body for the family. Your appreciation for life increases, as well what you value. Has experiencing death gotten easier? I would have to say it has. I think as we mature, both physically and spiritually, the idea of death gets easier as well as our coping skills. I feel that being a nurse also gives us a forewarning in preparing for death. Our jobs revolve around patient assessments. We can obviously see when we have a patient or a loved one declining. The toughest role is preparing the loved ones for the transition.
