Catholics@Home, in collaboration with the Archdiocesan Office for Human Development , hosted a podcast on one of the most painful experiences human beings endure – grief.
Guest speaker, Dr Koh Wai Keat, a geriatrician at Hospital Fatimah, Ipoh, said we prepare for many events in our lives — like the birth of a child, a wedding, and examinations. However, death is often a taboo subject and not discussed. And because we don’t talk about it, we don’t prepare for it, and there is a lot of uncertainty about what may happen.Fr Clarence chipped in, “Sometimes fear is something we must befriend.
The geriatrician said that when facing patients who are beyond medical help, his advice is to keep hope in certain perspectives and for them and their families to live in the present. Showing empathy is very important. Being there for them, lending a listening ear, telling them you are there to support them and giving hugs goes a lot further than telling the person to stay strong or lying that everything will be alright, said Dr Koh.
