I consider myself fortunate and truly blessed to be in her care, for her empathy is a beacon of hope.
To be honest, we are struggling with the condition of my sibling because aside from her illness, we also keep returning to Makati Med every time she suffers. There are times when we feel like giving up, but when we see her fighting, it's as if our hardships suddenly vanish. We are extremely grateful to this nurse because, on the day when we felt weak and hopeless, she was there to show us that it's not only my sibling who is suffering but also her who is fighting their battle alone. She sang to us, and you could truly feel her emotion because I know that even if she doesn't say it, she too has her own battles or challenges in life that she is facing. I am deeply thankful to the nurses of my sibling, especially to this nurse, because she did not just sing back then, but she also provided decisive motivation that we should continue fighting whatever life throws at us. The patient also shares: There's no need for words to convey the aches and the toll it takes; she comprehends with a glance, a gesture. I consider myself fortunate and truly blessed to be in her care, for her empathy is a beacon of hope. In the sharing of our stories, I've come to realize how life's certainties can shift in an instant, reminding us to cherish every moment. The friendship that blossomed in such trying times is nothing short of a miracle. My heartfelt thanks go to this nurse for her unwavering support during my stay at MMC. Her care transcended mere duty, leaving an indelible mark on my life.
