Silent blessing

其實還有兩篇未完成的Atlanta遊記,但是最近發生了很多事不得不讓我停筆...謝謝朋友(Monica, Britney & Frieda)的支持讓我再展笑顏...

很早以前媽媽就說過要"易子而教",因此我從未坐在她的班級座位上,原因就是怕有不公平的問題,後來當治療師後,發現最艱難的病人其實是自己的家人,我可以對其他(非家人)的病人"頤指氣使" [誇張的說啦!],但是當面對親人時,無力感油然而生,那種治療師的權威感被莫名的恐懼感取而代之,唯一能夠貢獻的就是"同理心"

記得當初外公過世的當下,我正好在報告大學畢業論文(seminar),忍著"慟"報完,然後馬上跟結束家長座談會的母親奔回家,在高速公路上我們母女2小時無語卻也沒有眼淚,幸好最後一切儀式順利結束。隔2個月後到安寧病房實習,見識更深刻體會到「生死學」的廣大精深,第一位病人是個彌留的老太太,我可以從她的訪客中看到她有孝順的兒孫,那天我為她做淋巴水腫的回流按摩,一切也是無語,她的二兒子在我離開時誠摯地向我道謝,而隔天當我再訪這位老太太時,護士小姐跟我說她昨晚深夜安祥的走了,一如我的外公......第二位病人是個口腔癌的英文老師,也是有家人的支持,但她因為自尊心的原因把自己封閉起來,跟她自我介紹後又是一次無語的治療section,第二次見面我帶了一張英文CD放給她聽,病房內除了音樂沒有對話,最後5分鐘時我鼓起勇氣唱了"愛的真諦"給她聽然後向她道晚安;第三次見面時我們比較有互動了--畫畫,但是一樣無語

...沉默的陪伴是我學會的課題,把對病人深深的關愛緩緩的藉著行為而非語言表達出來,但是這樣還不夠,當她們離開時,佛家說的放下才是我最難做到的...

後來有機會參觀安寧病房的佛堂兼禮拜室,才一踏入門口,當初在送外公的路上還流不夠的眼淚竟撲涑涑的停不止。那天回到一般復健治療室,我依然內心激動卻得控制自己繼續治療下一個病人,當晚母親跟我說外公知道我無法見他最後一面會體諒我的,這時我才真正的"放下"了。

請原諒我的胡言亂語,感謝父母的堅強讓我可以繼續維持正常生活,我會記得前幾天父親說的:做好情緒控制!!!另一方面,衷心的為正在受病苦的爺爺祈禱,無語....

p.s. Josh Groban唱的那首"To Where You Are"實在是扣人心弦

Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be (? )
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
’cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
