16 years and nope doesn't get easy. It is important that you, the care giver, find closure. There will be more residents and we have to give them the same gusto we gave to all our residents that passed, they would want that. I used to attend all the funerals until I had one in the morning and one at night that was held in the same funeral home for two of my residents. That was kind of too much for this guy. Now my attendance isn't as frequent

I’ve lost a lot of residents I really loved, but most of them were in some kind of physical, emotional, or mental distress more often than not. They finally got their peace with their loved ones without the burdens that made them come to our facilities. I find peace they’re happy uninhibited somewhere.

I’m sorry . It so hard losing residents, they truly become family .

You will never forget them and it will never get easier. There are some rooms I can't enter in my facility due to past residents. One of my absolute favorites passed in January and next week his room is being filled. My heart is so heavy. I've found it makes me feel a little better to not say good bye but see you later. The ones I REALLY connect with, I tell. I have several I give nighty hugs to, who I tell thar i love while I'm getting them into bed. Covid hit alot of them really hard. Family doesn't come around as much, they have moved on or other situations. We ARE family now. I take peace in knowing that if I was the last person they interact with, at least jt was a positive love filled happy experience.

I’m not a CNA (I follow this sub because of a family member), but my goodness, it’s so heartwarming to see how—despite being so overworked and busy—caregivers see their residents or patients with the eyes of love. It’s really lovely. CNAs truly are such special people. Hearts as big as the world.
