God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

One of the hardest parts of my job as a certified nurse assistant, is when a patient passes away. Death for anyone is hard. As a caregiver, I am privy to patients' most intimate moments, and therefore, I experience things (pain, sadness, happiness, and frustration), right along with them.
I have always been very emotional and I can get "attached" to people and things very easily. I wear my heart on my sleeve, as some say. You can look right at my face and know exactly what I am feeling right then(which can make life difficult sometimes).
Due to the HIPPA laws, I cannot go into great detail as to the "specifics" of my patient (or their life and/or passing), I can tell you this person made an impact on my life and I spent many 12 hours days and nights with them.
Luckily, my faith as a Christian, helps me through these times. I know that this person is happier and not in pain anymore. I can rest in the fact that they lived a long life, and I will see them again when I go to Heaven.
