The Author's Corner: Patient of Life

I think we have all been a patient in a hospital at some point in our life. It does not matter what you were in for or what ward you were on. In most hospitals you are treated by doctors and nurses. How the medical system works in different countries varies. Personally, I have seen the inside of a hospital a few times in my life as both a patient and a visitor.


As the time comes to be when we make that final stay in our life, the one before death, there are those who die in their home, however they are still a patient of life. For most, the last part of our life is spent in a nursing home unless one of the children move home to take care of their parents. I, myself, have chosen to take care of my parents.


The time we spend in this reality, we are all walking in the direction of our own death. The question is, is there an after life or would we even know when we die. When the time come and it will in one what or another unless we chose to take our own life, then we have control when it happens.


In the path that we will follow, it comes down to how we decide on which path we take. We all have an illness of some sort ever when the doctor says we are healthy. That illness is life itself because with every minute that goes by means that we are that much older. There is no escaping our own death, all we can do is accept it and continue living our life the way we want.

That is why we are all patients in life. The only way to be not a patient to life is to be taken to the next stage of life that follows this physical world.


Some of us have had near death experiences and it changes our lives in one way or anther as we see how quickly our life can be taking from us. The doctor who is there, always is God/The Creator or what you want to call it. Thus, we will always have the time that we need to look back on this life when we die.


With my life, I have seen the suffering of mental health issues from firsthand experience. It is what I deal with as I am a patient to mental health. In time there will be an understand of what is to come, for now we remain patients to life.


Stay safe.
