Cycle of life

Just stepped into the department area 

UHF rang. Standby case of cardiac arrest 
Unknown ID 
Unknown age 
ETA five minutes
A lady had been putting on by LUCAS 
A machine who pressing on the chest for cardio pulmonary resuscitation 
Young looking woman. Maybe early or late 40s. 
At least 5 ampoules of adrenaline are administered to her
" Come on. Come back please "
This sentence will appear on my mind every resuscitation. 

At last. They announced death of the timing after 15-20mins resuscitation.
Stop resuscitation. 
I wondered the response of the family members 
Accompanied with the doctor-in-charge when the Daughter arrived 
A young lady, middle age of 20s 
She doesn't know what happened to her Mother. She just received a called and informed that she needs to be in the hospital. She looked cheerful before doctor breaks the news to her
Oh Gosh. Tears rolling in the eyes after knowing her mum passed away 
How cruel the life is 

She just non stop calling and shaking her mum when we brought her into the room 
"Mummy.. Wake up please. Mummy. Don't sleep. Mummy wake up please" 

"Doctor. Can u save my mum. Please...."
"Why like that? She was fine this morning!" 

I always thought that I won't feel upset or doesn't have any feeling when an unknown person passed away 
Attachment and working in my nursing life about five years 
Always seen dead body, sick persons 
This is just normal to every Nurses and Doctors 
But when she see her mum in a cold body with closing both eyes and the heart pumping was stopped 
To me, the heartbreaking news is ridiculous 

Cherish every moment and every person in your life
