In and Out of Consciousness
I work as a palliative care nurse at a local hospital. One time, my patient was slipping in and out of consciousness and would mumble words, but you couldn’t understand what she was trying to say.
During her last few minutes of life, suddenly, she opened her eyes widely and looked right at me, fully alert. I suddenly gave her my full and undivided attention.
In a fully serious tone, she said, “Thank you for coming. I am sorry but I am going to be poor company. I love you”. All I could do was kiss her forehead and tell her that I loved her too.
She passed later that same day, not too long after this incident. I am not sure who she thought was standing there, but I am pretty sure it wasn’t me. Story credit: Reddit / Lastredditname
