As a doctor, I have seen more death than anyone from another profession. Many of my colleagues see death as a regular event - they say death 'just happens'.
When someone cries loudly over a dead loved one, their immediate response are words like "why is he/she crying like that?" and "can she just be a little bit more quiet? There are other people here trying to get a good rest."
Those who say that? Nurses, and some doctors as well. It gives me a feeling of disgust.
This is because we see these events happening to another person and think it can never happen to us.
What if you were in their shoes? What if the one whose life is hanging on the line is a relative? What if the one about to leave this world is someone who means a lot to us? Would it be any different? Yes it would!
Learn to put yourself in the other person's shoes. It you feel that it hurts you, it probably would have hurt them too.
