We hired a new nurse. I had to do a quick orientation with her. She had a look of fear, apprehension & anxiety. I’m used to jitters in new hires, but this is different!
I chatted with her, and asked her about her life, plans hobbies ect.. and tried to ease that anxiety.
My life as a nurse over the last couple years has changed dramatically from focusing on medication pass and illness to putting people at ease.
I realize that this week. That seems to be my forte.
I feel so strongly about that because it is so strongly needed.
We are people in crisis.
Peace has been taken from the Earth.
I had a coworker from Ecuador who told me about their Covid restrictions -over the last two years
The dead bodies were placed in front of the homes on the street like Christmas trees. ..how trucks drove by to pick them up.
She started to tear up and her voice cracked. I let her talk and we visited about her trauma. One of our psychologist heard my conversation looked at me and nodded to me and kept walking.
He later said he’s overwhelmed by his clients trauma and is considering retiring— I thought he needed a good listener and he ultimately walked away!
Times haven’t gotten that tough yet, but I can see how we’re heading in the direction of societal changes becoming more fear based, less compassionate towards our fellow man.
I totally relate to what you're saying and agree completely. I'm a teacher, and all of my students are dealing with things that no child should face. The amount of mental problems rising in young people is disturbing. And there is no peace in any of the kids I see. Even the sweetest kids talk about how they experience constant anxiety and don't want to leave the house anymore. And yes, this was, of course, part of the C-19 agenda.
But the adults I work with are no better. Stressed out, angry, bitter, overweight, unhappy, drinking on the weekends, and lost. And they are good people, not purple-haired groomers, who work with kids because they want to make a difference, but it feels hopeless most days. And it's not because we're not trying, but because it's the current state of mankind. Most human beings in the West are now like survivors of a tornado. The traditional structure of humanity, the family, is all but dead, and the roles of men and women have been stripped. And nearly every single person you meet is self-centered and addicted to technology. Where do we go from here? No one knows. And no one has any peace.
I have returned to Christ after MANY years gone because of this very issue. I pray every day on my drive to work for God to give us peace to weather this period in history. But I also know that we were all born during this period of history for a specific reason. We must do our part to help each other and to restore what is good to a dying world. That's all.
When I worked at a renoun equestrian detox facility, a large percentage of our patients were teachers, administrations, and those retired.
