'My 6 year old must be an angel'
A patient of mine with multiple sclerosis. Lives alone and has some care giver who helps him. It was going to be my daughter's 6th birthday party, as I mentioned that he had a big smile on his face and said' she sure must be an angel, Have fun at the party'. He couldn't stop talking about his 5.5 yr old son with cerebral palsy who died after struggling from multiple medical complications. Because of a disabled kid at home, wife turned to drugs and they ended up divorced. He paid a substantial amount to get custody of his 2 kids. after the divorce, his younger son died. He took care of his only son and raised him alone. While talking this story his words which hurt me most was' The pain of losing a kid is the greatest. The pain I am going through right now is nothing compared to that'. I had to struggle to stop tears coming to my eyes, coz I was sure that it would make him sad as well. Now I know why he said ' that my 6 year old must be an angel".
