| | Last week I went with my Dad to pick up a headstone for mom's grave. Somehow, I never anticipated doing something like that. What do I want my mom's gravestone to say? I could write paragraphs, pages, books....but still, I don't think anyone could ever know what she meant to me.
So the grief continues, as it will, for a long time. I have slept a bit better these last couple days, so that's encouraging. I didn't realize that not sleeping well was a part of grieving. Nor that grief itself wears one out.
I gave my notice to Richland Hospital on Monday. I'll still stay on as PRN (meaning roster, so I can still work there occasionally if I want to). That way, if I miss my newborns too much I can work another shift. For now, though, I have been accepted at Providence Hospital downtown. I'll be working on the Medical-Surgical floor, in order to gain more experience in other areas of nursing. That will hopefully benefit me as I plan to work in Africa later. The nurse manager seems really nice as do the other staff. Here's hoping.
My list of grievances against Palmetto Health Richland are numerous. Should I need to go to any hospital, it will not be that one. I probably should not go into all the reasons why, but if you feel like listening to at least a 30min passionate discourse, let me know.
I will, however, miss the people I work with. They some of the best kind of people. To show how much they love me, they gave me money when my mom's accident happened and I had to be out of work so much, they helped with my wedding, they laughed with me, they supported me at my mom's visitation and memorial service and cried with me. They are only reason I stayed at Richland for this long. I shall miss them.
