I know very little about the field you work in but one thing I do know is I'm not jealous of those that work in it. Personally, I'm not the best person that can deal with deaths no matter what age.
About a year ago, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer and was told he has about one month to live. I was totally messed up with that. Like seriously mentally messed up trying to digest that. Booking plane flights, working with my Mom and siblings on funeral arrangements and stuff all while thinking - this ain't happening. It's a bad dream. I'll wake up and say to myself "That was a Franking nightmare that I never want to go though again.... please let me wake up and it's just a bad dream."
After a couple of weeks of further tests they said, oops... upon further review they said he could live for a year or more if he follows though on his treatments. He dodged a bullet but still not out of the woods. None of us know when it twill happen but it will happen. I don't think I'll ever be prepared mentally when it does happen.
As I said, I'm not jealous of your profession, You are a better person than me. I couldn't deal with stuff like that. In my job if things don't work as planned, an inanimate object is scrapped. We can make more, no harm and no foul. Folks that work in health care, if things don't go as planned, a life can be lost and the ripple effects from that can scar people their whole life.
.I will make a guess that you probably improve many people's life in a positive way. I applaud you for the work you do.
