Response
I agree with you that death can sometimes be a thing to cheer when the family member has suffered untold pains (Beeke & Bogosh, 2018). Though no one wishes to die or to lose their loved ones, at times, some patients consider death the only way that can best solve their problems, especially if they feel much pain. As a nurse, I have witnessed patients suffering from kidney stones and acute pancreatitis cry all day and night and even request nurses to help them die. In such circumstances, and when the family knows that the disease is incurable, they wish their patient dies and rest from pains (Beeke & Bogosh, 2018). As a Christian nurse, I understand that death is inevitable, not the end of the road. Jesus died and resurrected to give hope to man. There is life beyond the grave for the believers. Mine would encourage patients to use the end-of-life period to request prayers and repent (Beeke & Bogosh, 2018).and die holy. This is because everyone will die when their day comes; thus, it’s better to get prepared.
