Lo est\u00e1 celebrando en el cielo. Recordar nuestros momentos juntos me reconforta en un d\u00eda como hoy. Ya no me entristece pensar en ella, aunque la extra\u00f1o much\u00edsimo. Ahora sonr\u00edo y recuerdo los momentos divertidos que compartimos. Era graciosa sin querer y ten\u00eda reacciones exageradas ante muchas cosas, por lo que siempre la brome\u00e1bamos. Sus respuestas r\u00e1pidas y espont\u00e1neas son algo que siempre atesorar\u00e9. Me ense\u00f1\u00f3 muchas cosas, incluyendo a confiar en Dios en los momentos dif\u00edciles, algo que empec\u00e9 a practicar desde muy joven. Mi mam\u00e1 era especial en muchos sentidos y me he dado cuenta de que fue la \u00fanica madre que me am\u00f3 de verdad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ella no era mi madre biol\u00f3gica. Mi madre biol\u00f3gica no pudo criar a sus hijas debido a sus problemas de adicci\u00f3n y salud mental. Mi madre me adopt\u00f3 a los 4 a\u00f1os y a mi hermana a los 3. Sin embargo, en todo el sentido de la palabra, era mi &quot;verdadera madre&quot;. Nos cuid\u00f3 a mi hermana y a m\u00ed y nos demostr\u00f3 lo que significa el verdadero amor. Antes de adoptarnos, ten\u00eda una prometedora carrera y aspiraba a convertirse en una actriz reconocida. Trabaj\u00f3 en el teatro durante muchos a\u00f1os, pero lo dej\u00f3 todo para dedicarse a nosotras. M\u00e1s tarde, consigui\u00f3 un trabajo en la escuela privada a la que nos envi\u00f3 solo para estar cerca y cuidarnos. Mi madre era muy protectora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;Ella me anim\u00f3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mirando hacia atr\u00e1s, me doy cuenta de que me anim\u00f3 desde muy joven a ser enfermera. Aunque s\u00e9 que esa era mi vocaci\u00f3n y prop\u00f3sito en la vida, admito que ella sembr\u00f3 esa semilla. Mi primer trabajo en el campo de la medicina fue en una residencia de ancianos. All\u00ed aprend\u00ed a trabajar con pacientes de Alzheimer y a comprenderlos. Aprend\u00ed sobre las etapas de esta enfermedad y lo devastadora que es, no solo para el paciente, sino tambi\u00e9n para la familia. El recuerdo que m\u00e1s me marc\u00f3 fue el de una hija que visit\u00f3 a su madre y me dijo: \u201cEsa mujer que ves ya no es mi madre, mi madre se ha ido\u201d. No pod\u00eda comprenderlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">El comienzo de mi carrera<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> M\u00e1s adelante en mi carrera trabaj\u00e9 como enfermera de cuidados paliativos. Ayudaba a personas con enfermedades terminales a transitar al m\u00e1s all\u00e1 con dignidad. Consolaba a los familiares mientras se desped\u00edan para siempre de sus seres queridos: padres, c\u00f3nyuge, hermanos o hijos. Aprend\u00ed que todas las etapas de la vida son importantes y que esta \u00faltima requiere gracia, amor, misericordia y compasi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;lecciones de vida<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Como suele suceder en la vida, me toc\u00f3 aplicar los conocimientos y habilidades que hab\u00eda aprendido a m\u00ed misma y a mi familia. A mi madre le diagnosticaron Alzheimer y comenzaron las etapas. Me dol\u00eda el alma saber lo que se avecinaba. Estaba preparada en cuanto a conocimientos, pero no emocionalmente. \u00bfEs m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil saber lo que viene o es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil no saberlo? Ninguna de las dos es f\u00e1cil; ambas mentalidades presentan desaf\u00edos. Me entristec\u00eda verla olvidarse poco a poco y me re\u00eda cuando cre\u00eda que ten\u00eda 10 a\u00f1os menos, aunque me conmov\u00eda que se sintiera as\u00ed. El impacto que esto tiene en la familia es abrumador. En una familia unida, intentamos cuidarnos entre nosotros, y eso fue lo que hicimos por ella. No fue hasta las \u00faltimas etapas de la enfermedad que no tuvimos m\u00e1s remedio que ingresarla en una residencia de ancianos especializada. Todos trabaj\u00e1bamos a tiempo completo y ella necesitaba cuidados las 24 horas. Tambi\u00e9n llam\u00e9 a cuidados paliativos para que nos ayudaran durante esta etapa, ya que ellos proporcionar\u00edan la atenci\u00f3n adicional que tanto necesitaban ella y la familia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cuidados paliativos<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Como enfermera de cuidados paliativos, aprend\u00ed a no esperar hasta la etapa final. Ll\u00e1menlos con anticipaci\u00f3n para obtener el m\u00e1ximo beneficio. Reconozco que esta fue la decisi\u00f3n m\u00e1s desgarradora y dif\u00edcil que tuvimos que tomar. Tom\u00e9 estas decisiones con amor. Saber que recibir\u00eda atenci\u00f3n de calidad me dio tranquilidad, aunque nunca me relaj\u00e9 del todo. Poco a poco, dej\u00f3 de caminar, dej\u00f3 de comer y se fue debilitando. Mi hermana y yo la visit\u00e1bamos con frecuencia. Recuerdo entrar en la habitaci\u00f3n y ver c\u00f3mo se le iluminaban los ojos al reconocerme, pero no recordaba mi nombre. Le tom\u00e9 la mano y la puse al d\u00eda sobre las novelas y los chismes de la televisi\u00f3n, ya que eso era lo que le gustaba. La rodeamos de amor y nos despedimos lentamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;Una p\u00e9rdida es una p\u00e9rdida.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No sabr\u00eda decir si es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil perder a un ser querido de repente o verlo desvanecerse lentamente. Ninguna de las dos situaciones es f\u00e1cil, pero hay una sensaci\u00f3n de agon\u00eda y dolor cuando el proceso se prolonga. Rezas, esperas y deseas un milagro, sabiendo al mismo tiempo cu\u00e1l ser\u00e1 el final. Adem\u00e1s, anhelas una transici\u00f3n tranquila y pac\u00edfica, pero tambi\u00e9n deseas tener m\u00e1s tiempo. Algunos d\u00edas, quieres tener recuerdos felices y celebrar la vida, aunque tu coraz\u00f3n est\u00e9 destrozado y no tengas ganas de celebrar. Es en estos momentos cuando te das cuenta de que cuando la gente dice &quot;desamor&quot;, literalmente se refieren a &quot;desamor&quot;, porque mi coraz\u00f3n dol\u00eda. Sent\u00eda un dolor f\u00edsico en el coraz\u00f3n al saber que nunca m\u00e1s podr\u00eda bailar con mi mam\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;La verdad sobre la demencia <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Como enfermera que trabajaba en cuidados paliativos y hab\u00eda recibido formaci\u00f3n en el tratamiento de pacientes con Alzheimer, sab\u00eda lo que estaba pasando. Ten\u00eda la comprensi\u00f3n, el conocimiento y la experiencia necesarios para manejar la situaci\u00f3n. Pero como hija, la ni\u00f1a que llevaba dentro lloraba y deseaba que todo desapareciera. Pas\u00e9 por las etapas como cualquier otra persona. Negoci\u00e9, me enoj\u00e9, enfrent\u00e9 momentos de negaci\u00f3n, sufr\u00ed depresi\u00f3n, hasta que finalmente lo acept\u00e9. Lo m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil fue saber que no pod\u00eda solucionarlo a pesar de mi formaci\u00f3n y conocimientos. Perd\u00ed a mi madre antes de que pudiera celebrar conmigo la finalizaci\u00f3n de mi maestr\u00eda en enfermer\u00eda. La realidad de no poder celebrar este gran logro con la persona que sembr\u00f3 la semilla. Hoy trabajo con pacientes de salud mental. En retrospectiva, puedo ver c\u00f3mo mi carrera ha completado un ciclo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;Mi comodidad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desde muy peque\u00f1a, creo que Dios me puso en ciertos roles y posiciones para prepararme. Le agradezco esto. Tambi\u00e9n le agradezco a la madre que me dio y a su ayuda para convertirme en la persona que soy hoy. Cuando pienso en los obst\u00e1culos que super\u00e9, a menudo me pregunto c\u00f3mo lo hice. Entonces le\u00ed sobre un estudio que mostraba c\u00f3mo las personas resilientes suelen tener a alguien que les brinda amor incondicional, lo cual contrarresta el abuso o el trauma que experimentan durante la infancia. Me di cuenta de que mi madre era esa persona. Gracias a ella y a Dios Todopoderoso, super\u00e9 las dificultades y los desaf\u00edos, y ahora puedo ayudar a otros a superar los suyos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;Siempre te extra\u00f1o<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feliz cumplea\u00f1os, mam\u00e1. \u00a1Te extra\u00f1ar\u00e9 por siempre! Siempre vivir\u00e1s en mi coraz\u00f3n. Gracias por amarme como lo hiciste. Tu amor me acompa\u00f1a incluso desde el m\u00e1s all\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tu hija<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grief is our last act of love&nbsp; Today is my mom\u2019s 91st birthday.
