It is the natural order and as natural as it whitethorn sound, human beings have different replys to such an event. end-to-end our sleep togethers, we influence or are influenced by people these influences manifest themselves in the form of raising a barbarian being a teacher, babysitting etcetera In all of these interactions, we create lasting relationships with those whom we come across when end happens to one of the involved parties emptiness follows the surviving person.As a future nurse, and due to the temperament of my occupation, I may be involved in a situation where I must deal with impending death. Emotions provide begin to happen, on both ends. On my end I ordain be trying to help the patient role, and the patient coming to terms with his or her destiny.

In such discussion, you will learn about my thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and values regarding to death and patient relationships.Thoughts Usually when I first hear of a death My thoughts on death begin with sorrow for the loss of a person who is significant on someones live. After meeting a patient who is a mother, and realizing that she does not have much duration I will be deeply saddened to what is going to happen to her. I may develop feelings for the childs well being. My second thought would be that of empathy. As a nurse I must show empathy, compassion, and strength at the same time towards patients. Showing emotions would most likely worsen an already sad situation.This patient is a mother of a three years old child she will not see her baby grow up. Therefore, I will have the utmost empathy. Also, I will show strength. This is necessary to persuade the patient to live fully the time she has left. If I am the person breaking the news to her, I will be frank and to the point without takeing any tuition from the patient since I believe that sugar coating the fact will lead to mixed feelings on the patient. I will enunciate her to make every day, every hour, and every second count and to enjoy her child in order to leave a lasting legacy.Feelings after a while, my initial reaction to death Therapeutic relations with terminally ill patients will also involve mixed feelings. There will be a war inwardly of me, my thoughts will tell me to be strong, but my feelings will want me to feel extremely sad, sorrowful, and incompetent for not being able to help the patient. These feelings will mill every attempt to interact with the patient. It is natural for me to feel sad at the future loss even when Ive only known the patient since she started acquiring treated still all life is precious. She is meaningful to many people, specially her child.I will definitely feel impotent, which will lead to anger for knowing that at that place is nothing that I can do to make her feel better. At that point, I will rely on my professionalism to expose and help me act accordingly. The originator why my feelings are normally strong is because when I was twelve years old, my naan died she practically raised me. I spent more time with my grandmother at that time, than I had spent with my mother. I was asleep when I was told that she had died, and feelings began to run rampant. The anger, and sadness were unbearable, and ever since that moment, I have been very sensitive when it comes to death.Beliefs My predominant emotion to death I believe that all life is valuable this belief will influence my feelings but not my therapeutic relationships with my patient. Regardless of what I may believe, I know that it is my duty to provide treatment the best possible service to the patient. Being supportive to the patient, and h er family members are my priority. If I was in the patients shoes, I would like the nurse to bring me up instead of bringing me down in a time of need. I would want the nurse to tell me my condition as is that way, I can make the right decisions with my life.Also I would like to have everything clear when it comes to my child, and I would like to live my couple of months as happy as possible and pain free. Values the way I may grieve Integrity is one of the main values I bear out dear. A persons word is their bond without integrity, our words mean nothing. From integrity, respect and dignity follow on my list of values. My thoughts will influence honourable decisions when conducting therapeutic counseling. They will also reaffirm with my feelings to ensure I manage myself with strength. In addition, treating all with respect and dignity are a priority in my values list.Therefore, when dealing with a patient everything else stops and I pay full attention to the patients needs. I wi ll provide knowledge and suggestions on ways to stay healthy and happy, even thought the patient wont survive for long I feel that is best to keep the patient happy and comfortable. Conclusion In the last few pages, Ive explained my thoughts on death. How my initial reactions to death would be and how my thoughts would influence me. Then, I explained how my feelings would manifest, and how they would play a part during routine interactions with the patient.I shared my beliefs and the connection between my beliefs, and thoughts when dealing with loss. Finally, I discussed my values as they relate to death. No matter which situation we find ourselves in being the ones receiving bad news or giving the bad news we will react differently to such an unexpected event. As long as we treat others with the respect and dignity they deserve, and we show the empathy we can make a difference on a patients remaining lifetime. It does take braveness to show strength, and humility to show empathy, but the satisfaction to know that we have done the right thing would provide comfort to keep us going.
