BW 086- Heartbreak in Health: A Widow's Tale of Loss and Struggle


Listen Later

Eryn Zamora. Aaron is a 28 year old widow who lost her husband and person of four years, to a terrible form of cancer. He was age 29. He was healthy. Everything was, was great. And, , unfortunately at the incredibly young age of, of 29, he. Past and her story is one full of many ups and downs of really what was an emotional roller coaster. And this story was. Especially difficult for me at parts, I worked in health care as many of you may know for 20 years and I wasn't a nurse and I mostly was not on the clinical side, but I have a great appreciation and respect for what it takes to effectively work in health care.

I can't imagine what it takes to practice medicine, but I know that is no easy task. And while I have the most. Respect and appreciation and care for people that work in health care. I also recognize that sometimes the patient coordination experience or the patient communication experience isn't always the best.

And her story takes place over really a couple of months, being transferred to four different hospitals, struggling with many ups and downs of communication that went sideways and just some of her struggles. And so, while many of us have lost our spouses while they were in the hospital or while they were in the health care continuum at some point, it is very much a reality, some of the emotional struggles that widows and family members experience when communication is lost.

Doesn't happen, maybe the information isn't there, maybe the transfers don't happen as smoothly as they can, and maybe sometimes health care just doesn't go according to plan and you have very limited options. it is possible to embrace joy again.
