Acknowledgement and Appreciation

W e all know the world is extremely selfish, but good and kind people exist too. Plus, sometimes we have to be clever for our own good. You know, when you absolutely need some help, people would genuinely support you. They are worthy, just focus on how they spread their kindness than focusing on what wrongs they do to you. Appreciate their kindness because humans represent a mixture of both good and bad. Focus on positivity just like we all do in our lives. It was an exceptionally arduous journey to say goodbye to my mother and in between, many people and institutions aided us in many ways that made our journey easy. In the first place, I would like to thank, the chief of IRCH, Dr. Sushma Bhatnagar , for helping us to perceive the precise situation and guided us in the right direction. In addition, we would like appreciating Dr. Ashish Sachan , who helped us to diagnose the disease of my mother. Undoubtedly, he's extremely kind and much experienced in his field. We will always be indebted to him. Including all, we like to appreciate AIIMS nurse Sudha ji for making right efforts to guide and provide accurate information. Our family appreciate the wise people including Sunil sir, Sanjeev sir, Sunny sir, Arun, Rajat, Chetan, Akansha, Varuni, Anjali, Avinash, Madhur, Diksha, Shubham, Lagan, and Anureet. I would also like mentioning the name of most valuable asset of IRCH Dr. Vashi , Junior Resident, Pain and Palliative Care Unit. She's brilliant and kind while serving patients. She treated my mother with care and affection by which my mother always felt satisfied under her treatment. Her place was extremely significant in our journey. In the fullness of time, I would include the most prominent doctor who guided us psychologically and emotionally. Affirmative, a doctor of Max Hospital, Dr. Megha Pruthi ma'am , Pain and Palliative Care Unit. She has vast experience of dealing with end-care patients and family. With her guidance, our family were able to carry out the sensible decision and secured proper time to dedicate last goodbye to our mother. There are many names that can't be mentioned in this compact book, but they played a substantial role in our journey. They comforted us in humble ways that made our extensive journey simple. Finally, we appreciate the help and support of every kind soul in our family without whom Im nothing. Remember, the journey was never a matter of money, but of the ideal time and company.

One day everyone will die, but it's terrifying when you know the exact time. The countdown to death will leave you in a dilemma whether to enjoy the remaining time & live in the illusion of life, or to interpret the process of death & leave the illusion of human life. When you know death is near, the best you can do is to forget it because it will come but life is deliberate. Every second, you have to push and appreciate everything in your life because day after day, now, you have to face extremely hard situations and you would forget the illusions of the situations which you conceived them as hard. The distressing situations aren't what we face in real life, but what we can't bear as humans, & when we are feeble to change creation and then look everywhere for some strange miracle. Magic happens in fairy stories and when we think magic doesn't really exist. Our belief is magic, & because of that most magic happens.
