Lessons from beyond the ICU
It might seem easier said than done. But I saw the magic of prayers, positive thinking and continuing to do my karma, no matter what. And I saw the miracle of God's love... It's so wonderful... Oh! wonderful love Key Take Aways From Waiting Outside The ICU For A Loved One To Wake Up: 2. Absorb and exude the energy around. It is not negativity but hope that the relatives carry with them. 3. Keep talking to your ICU-bound loved one even when you think they can't hear you. Vibes travel. Send out positive vibes. 4. Be the first in the queue during visiting hours. Just like you want to look at the monitors to be assured that a heart is beating, that sedated heart waits to hear your hi. 5. When stressed, paint/ write/ work from the hospital- if you are constructive, the universe will honour your commitment to making a difference in other's lives. 6. Tell the person how much they mean to you. They are critical but there is always that slight chance they'll hear you and come back. 7. And if that doesn't work, give the sick person an ultimatum- a time frame. Often, when sedated, intubated, etc, your person doesn't have a watch and they lose count of time. Tell them. The day. The date and the time you need them to recover by. It motivates them to plan their recovery. 8. This is actually point #1 too. Pray to whoever you believe in. And trust your prayers will be answered. #lessonsfromtheicu #lifelessons #bebrave
