Témoignage « La paix soit avec vous! » de dire Jésus-Ressuscité. Cette salutation semble incrustée dans les murs de cette maison de paix. Tout dans cette maison contribue, tant pour les gens en fin de vie que pour leur famille, à créer un environnement de paix, de calme et de sérénité : accueil chaleureux, soins d’une qualité supérieure, attentions multipliées. Il est évident que la compassion est la pierre d’angle de cette Maison de soins palliatifs. Son personnel exceptionnel s’ingénie à trouver les gestes et les mots de compassion et de douceur si importants pour ceux et celles qui vivent ces moments si difficiles. L’extérieur de la maison vient aussi offrir un élément pacifique. Les oiseaux qui chantent, la beauté des arbres, les eaux du lac Béthel, invitent à l’intériorité et à cette préparation à la Rencontre de Dieu. Dans la Bible, Béthel veut dire « Maison de Dieu ». Est-ce un hasard que Maison Vale Hospice soit sur le lac Béthel? Je ne le crois pas…au contraire. C’est là un beau petit clin d’œil de Dieu pour nous dire que cette maison de paix, véritable antichambre du Ciel, est une maison de Dieu. Nos félicitations à la direction de la Maison et à tout le personnel d’avoir su créer une maison de soins palliatifs qui est certainement, pour le Nord de l’Ontario, un appui solide et un ancrage sûr, tant pour toute personne qui se trouve en soins palliatifs que pour les membres de la famille qui vivent des moments d’inquiétude. Acceptez nos remerciements profonds d’avoir fourni des moments de paix intense à ma sœur décédée, Sr Clémence Watier, s.c.o., à nous, la famille des Sœurs de la Charité d’Ottawa, ainsi qu’à ma sœur Lorraine et à moi-même.

It’s A Wonderful World A year and a half ago, my husband, Deacon Mr. Ray Henri, passed away from cancer. Maison Vale Hospice gave him the gift of dying with dignity and compassion, without pain. For me, it was a place of refuge, a home, a place where I could be his wife. Ray was treated with the greatest respect and human kindness. I noticed the little things the staff did – touching him gently, telling him everything they were doing and why, letting him make the choices when he was able. They supported all of us in every way, making sure the family was looked after. That was so important to me. It seemed I never had the time to do that anymore; I’d been everything but a wife and mother. We were given the gift to just be a family again, to spend the time with Ray and to love him. This wonderful feeling of warmth and peace was felt by the whole family. The fear that had been part of me for so long was gone. I could finally just be. Sitting beside Ray, holding his hand, remembering tender moments, moments of sadness were all gifts that gave quality to the time we had left together. Even though Ray couldn’t answer us, I knew he was listening. The time we had together was short, but it was our time. Ray wasn’t afraid of dying. His only regret was leaving, knowing he was loved so much. The fear was of dying alone. And he never was. Ray chose his time to go. The nurse came in to check on him and told me he was leaving. I looked up and he had a smile on his face. Then he was gone. There was just Ray and I at that precious moment … he was not alone. After Ray’s death, I was in a really dark place for months. My love of over 50 years was gone. I was alone in an empty apartment. No one in the morning, no one at night. I’d fallen and broken my hip. I felt I had no purpose. I felt I didn’t belong anymore and I was afraid. After reaching out for help to no avail, someone suggested that I call and speak to someone from the Spiritual Care team (now called Supportive Care) at the Hospice. That’s when my life began to change from one of hopelessness and despair to one of now happiness and gratefulness, a life filled with hope. It wasn’t easy allowing myself to be honest and vulnerable, but with some skillful coaching, this individual taught me that it was okay to have these feelings and offered me a safe place to express them. He shared with me that, to resolve grief, one has to work through the feelings and that avoiding them would only make the grief journey more difficult. Through these grief coaching sessions, I was offered tools that taught me to live in hope, which then led me to allowing life’s potential without feeling guilty. This was crucial to the beginning of my healing journey. Living in hope and gratitude has improved my view of the future and of my life in general. Now, as I consider the opportunities that are presented to me, I can engage in better choices for a more fulfilling life. I am so grateful for the gifts that the Hospice has offered my husband and me. They helped us get through each of our respective journeys. I consider myself a survivor of one of the most crucial times of my life. Though Ray rests in peace, my memories and my love for him are alive and well. I continue to strive to allow life’s potential, and I look forward to the new opportunities that will unfold as time goes on. To all this, I say, “Yes, it’s a wonderful world.” Jean Henri
