yesterday 11th November had a quiet time in London at St Thomas's hospital (where I used to be a midwife) and on the embankment..the covid Memorial wall was my first time seeing ..it really hits home how much the pandemic had hurt families. Lost loved ones fallen to the quite vicious critter of a virus. A virus that demanded serious attention to get under control in the nation and globally.. On site at St Thomas's had time by the Mary Secole statue and remembrance wreaths had been laid .. Mary worked in the war tending injured ..and then went on to the Florence Nightingale museum.. Florence a nursing hero caring for war injured and building our nursing careers with her dedication to ensure good team management. Both these women amazing nurses that taught us much on dedication to others healing and wellbeing. So a salute to their brave dedication to care.
Then had quiet time in the hospital chapel and found a beautiful and very moving corner to remember babies and children that have been lost to illness. Very a tear filling time given the wars in the world where children also being lost to adults war tantrum destruction . We need Global peace where our love care and compassion for one another unites us... life is very precious..
