RIP

Well, today I went in to work for the first time in two days.  I found out that one of the residents that I take care of on a regular basis passed away on Thursday.  I knew that he was going to pass away soon but it is kind of hard to deal with.  He is the first resident that I was taking care of that passed away.  I feel bad for his family but I know it is his time to go.  I am kind of glad that I wasn't there though because I think it would have been a lot worse for me to deal with mentally.  I wish I could see his family member again to tell him personally how sorry I am that he passed away and say goodbye.  I guess since this is my first death it will stick with me.  I won't forget this.
