The Impermanence Of Life

on Saturday, November 17, 2007

I received a call from one of our volunteer on Wednesday afternoon. He mentioned that Miss T, one of the dialysis patient had not gone for dialysis for few days. She suppose to undergone dialysis three times a week. And yet, she had not turned up for a few times already.

On Wednesday evening, we went to her house to check out what had happened to her. However, upon arrival at her house, her father informed us that she had been rushed to the hospital in early morning and her condition was not very good.

After that, we drove all the way from her house to the hospital.

Well, as what her father had mentioned, her condition is very critical and she is an unconscious state. The blood vessel in her brain had damaged and the doctor cannot do anything on her. She also cannot breath on herself and had to depend on a machine to help her. The doctor mentioned that her condition is not very optimistic.

The next day (Thursday), our volunteer went to see her at the hospital and her condition still remained the same.

Yesterday morning, our volunteer to see her again. However, they were informed that she had passed away in early morning time. She is only 36 years old.

"Life is impermanent. You cannot predict what would happen to you tomorrow. Thus, treasure what you have today."
