Ode to Papa: Tougher than Nails

This is the beginning of a 4 part series that details each of my grandparents endings.  As an ICU nurse I began seeing death of the elderly population in a whole new light and dealing with my own grandparents endings has forced me to really reflect on how we are dying these days.  It's not a pretty view in some of these 12 hour shifts where we as a medical team try to prevent the unpreventable.  Death comes to all and we need to talk about it...

This is my story of Arthur Wilmer Smith (Wilmer to Friends and Family)

I am very passionate about shining my light on what I believe our Loved Ones deserve and that includes an Enlightened Ending to their Life Story. 

One of my last meaningful conversations with Wilmer consisted of him telling me that he no longer felt like he was LIVING but rather EXISTING... This conversation probably happened 3 years before he passed but not long before he wound up in the land of Pillgatory...

More and more people are ending up in the place I have termed Pillgatory and most people can't even see it.  So I feel obligated to give it my best to Save as many people from this land as possible. 

Nobody wants Forced Health until they wish Death on themselves but that's the sad reality that many of our elderly Loved Ones face everyday and nobody seems to want to talk about it.  So I AM gonna talk about it and your welcome to listen.

This is where I start talking about it so follow me on a journey that will hopefully make you think about where we are going and whether or not you want to end up in the land of Pillgatory...

So if you think that you can handle my Truth then I'd love for you to join me on this  episode of Scrubs in the Trenches
