It is seen everyday in our job. As a result we become somewhat desensitised to it. I am referring to our elderly people living in nursing homes in various levels of comfort and mental function.
At times I think: what life are they really having? Is it worth living? Are they afraid of dying or are they actually enjoying this?
As Christians we shouldn’t be afraid of dying, as it is our belief that we will join our heavenly father. Dying is a natural part of life. Yet some persist with endless treatments such as renal dialysis.
What sort of life can one have in a nursing home? There are some nice nursing homes but generally speaking I wouldn’t want my mum to end up in one.
