I had taken care of a relatively young patient quite some time ago this year.  She had stayed in the hospital for quite a long period of time. Yesterday, I was informed that the patient is dying, with 1 or 2 days more to live, and had called the unit asking to speak to the nurses who had taken care of her. The short list included me.

I am very sorry to hear the devastating news. My heart simply felt a strong pang of pain and saddness, but touched by the gesture- to be remembered in one's last days of life, that is something priceless.

 

I found this for her:

 

Holy Spirit,
Be present to all who are dying
Sustain them by your power;
Console them by your love.
Even in their sufferings
Fill them with your joy.
When their eyes
Close to the things of this world
Grant that they may open them again on you
Unfailing Light.
And grant that, losing this world,
They may gain all things,
Resting in the eternal possession of you.
