Why do the young have to die? I am praying for the eternal repose of the soul of my 16 year old patient who finally breathed her last. The cause of death: poverty. When doctors know what needs to be done to provide their patients with the best prognosis, and yet do not have the resources to treat - what else can we do but pray and offer consolation in death and dying, and hope that we have done absolutely everything we could. While waiting for funds for her treatment, she personally asked my permission to allow her to spend christmas at home with her family. She even asked me for pamasko. She was happy and hopeful and relatively healthy. Little did I know that this would be her last Christmas. In my mourning, my mother comforts me with her prayer: I pray that the family and her doctors have the wisdom to accept Gods will. Death is just a transition. Not the end. Help me to remember that I am just your instrument Lord. You are the musician. Some music are allegro, others legato. Some are fortissimo, others pianissimo. Even silence has a meaning, a pregnant pause. It is not the end. It is just the beginning of a new page.
