There are things in life you cannot un see
There are things in life you cannot un hear
There are moments in life where hearts break
Dig deep and feel the love around you
The hands of the clock move along
The sun rises and the sun sets
The body is nourished while tears flow
Feel the love that surrounds you
Written on the anniversary of a death
Written on the night of so much death
Written for those that fight death
Written for those who witness death
Written for those in my world and around the world
Written with tears streaming down my face

Pray for the families, the hockey world and the first responders — many who were not medical people. I feel like maybe I shouldn’t have hit post — this post is not about me except for the writing — it’s about all those others. It’s about the level of pain for others involved in this and other things around the bigger world. It’s so not about me — it’s about pain, suffering and tragedy.
I was with a fabulous OR team who pulled together last night to be ready. I’m on call today if they need me. I didn’t sleep well but it really is about others who are suffering so much more.

It’s so hard to find words at a time like this, isn’t it? Putting thoughts to paper may be a part of the healing process. I am so thankful for you.

You were a calm organized team leader. I’m thankful for you. As a nurse we are left feeling that we wanted to do more but in light of the devastating death toll we now understand why we had so few patients.

That’s the sad part — we were ready but so many fatalities and so few patients that required our services. The death toll is gutting.

Thanks for the love but if you go back and read my morning edit to the post you will see that really it’s about the pain of others. In the end we had few patients in the OR despite being ready. The loss of so many young lives is so devastating for all and with the degree of connections in Saskatchewan we will all know someone directly impacted. I do and my heart is heavy for them and every other family, first responders, medical personnel from all over the province and the hockey world that these kids live in.
