A story of an elderly loving couple. The husband had terminal illness and the wife was the carer. They received the best care from a multidisciplinary team. Unfortunately, the husband died.
The wife was grieving for a long time and wished that if there was a way she could have died to save her husband. I responded by sharing a song with her. The song was dedicated to a loving elderly couple who were discussing who should die first. I translated the song:
"....When we are both old, I want you to die first because you won't have the heart-wrenching memory of my death, and I will say goodbye to you in tears..."
The patient thanked me for sharing the song. This is my first experience of using song in treating a patient.❤️
The original lyrics of the song:
《最后一次》

秋天的落叶最后一次安然飘落
你说要陪着我一起走到最后
冬天里的眼泪在孤单流浪
你说过会融化我心中所有的痛
我问你有一天我们都将老去
谁来做留下来的那一个
你傻傻的说要让我先离去
因为走开的人会少些回忆的心碎
如果知道那时最后一次,你怎么会放开我的手
如果知道那是最后一次,我怎么会笑着说再见
我问你有一天我们都将老去
谁来做留下来的那一个
你傻傻的说要让我先离去
因为走开的人会少些回忆的心碎
如果知道那时最后一次,你怎么会放开我的手
如果知道那是最后一次,我怎么会笑着说再见
我问你有一天我们都将老去
谁来做留下来的那一个
你傻傻的说要让我先离去
因为走开的人会少些回忆的心碎
