The one question I have about my behavior was the fact that, as her advocate, I called and spoke to the patient's father with her permission. I stressed the fact that she was dying and if he wanted to see his daughter alive, he should come shortly. In retrospect, I wonder if I pressured her too much to make the call. Ultimately, it was all for naught, as she died before he was able to see her alive. But I wonder if I was overly interventionist and impositional of my beliefs in the need for her to make that final connection with her father. I feel good that I was able to facilitate what was important to the client, and allow her to take control of her end-of-life arrangements with dignity. I think that Parse would approve of my behavior, however, as I did validate my decision with the patient beforehand, even though it was my suggestion to make the call to her father.


Although no one likes to dwell on the end of life, given the parameters of the patient's condition, I would like to think of my care as successful as possible. Although the patient passed away, she desired to pass away, and because of my nursing intervention she was able to have a sense of closure, and of having done something meaningful with her surviving assets. Finally, by talking about her life, such as her admirable academic career and incidents from her childhood, I was able to laugh with her and validate the worth of her human experiences, rather than just treat her as a body that was ravaged by a cruel cancer.

I hope that you too are able to gain a sense of peace in your own treatment of endeavors when you confront the end of life with your own patients.
