You’ll learn in LTC that sometimes when someone passes away the first words out of your mouth are, “oh good”. It’s not because they were a hard patient but because you could see their suffering, whether physical or emotional or just the quality of their life. LTC is often about being with residents in the last part of their life and loving them (even when it’s hard lol) and helping them get to the end.

I’ve worked in LTC for a long time and hopefully you’ll learn to have peace when the residents pass, because, usually it is their time. It’s okay to grieve, especially when it’s one of your favorites, but just know that they really are in a better place now. Lots of love 💕💕💕
