Deaths and joy

I volunteer at tan tock seng hospital. And recently one of e patients died.

And I experienced so much compassion and love from e other volunteers who went out of their way to assist e family etc. And I thought to myself, what have I done for them? Pretty much nothing.

I felt joy at seeing e sharing and compassion that was going around and ashamed that all I did or could do ( due to my own obstacles) was so limited.

And if I may be selfish, that patient was one of those whom I loved to visit coz he was at peace (seemingly) and enjoyed e activity that we do with/ for him.

I m happy at some level that he left coz he would no longer suffer and I can only hope that he left feeling at peace
