I took a call from a coroner today, she needed to notify the office that a 44 year old patient passed away.

I also received notification from one of my providers today that her 92 year old patient passed away.

Following the first call there was a sense of sorrow; however, the second was followed by a sense of jubilation. Two death notifications within one eight hour shift, two separately identifiable reactions.

Death isn’t searching for rich or poor, it doesn’t show favoritism towards Caucasian or African American, it’s not concerned with religion / faith / nor belief systems, and it doesn’t provide an extension based on age.

Death comes to each of us, the question is whether or not we’re prepared. It’s said to be like a thief in the night but reality is it’s not limited by time.

In both of today’s scenarios I was able to identify pleasurable exchanges that could be written out and delivered to the family – LIVE LIFE IN AN HONORABLE WAY SO THAT WHEN YOU’RE GONE YOUR MEMORY WILL BE A SOURCE OF SOLACE

That’s my thought for tonight, and my goal for tomorrow!
