    • We might have read Gita umpteen number of times, would have attended philosophical discourses earlier,might have
    • read hundreds of books on death-yet to see someone dying just in front of us, notwith standing enormous medical attention is really cruel.
    • shock and feelings of unreality, particularly in the days after the death,intense sadness, which can feel overwhelming
    • anxiety, either general or about something specific
    • worries about our own mortality
    • anger and irritation –
    • feelings of hopelessness and depression-A combination of
    • so many feelings !
    • People have distorted orientation of life;It takes time to
    • realise that if one were ever condemned to become
    • immortal or if death were taken away totally,it would be
    • the most horrible thing that could happen to one.
    • It takes time to realise that if life stretches beyond certain limit,
    • that is a suffering in itself.
    • The greatest calamity of human mind is, it is against death.
    • Gurus say that the moment you reject death,you also reject life.
    • We somehow believe that life is right and death is wrong.
    • In reality life is what it is only because of death.
    • A river exists between two banks.
    • We stand on the right bank and want the left
    • bank to disappear.We don't realise that if the left bank
    • disappears,both the river and right bank also would
    • vanish soon.If we want the right bank to exist, we should have
    • the left bank also.Just because one wants to avoid death,
    • death cannot leave him.However large a space one occupies
    • in the society, life is a small prison to him and he has to
    • be released one day or the other.
    • It is said that life is death and death is life .Death in fact is
    • an intense form of life and people who have experienced
    • severe crisis are well aware of this fact.
    • Though fully aware of all the above facts,
    • it takes time to heal. God is great!

    Written from personal experience.
    Delirium is a sudden onset of confusional state caused by medical illness
    and normally is stated to last for shorter periods.
    It is said to be associated with 'hospital syndrome'.
    At least 10% of people in hospitals suffer during hospitalization,
    after surgery
    and so on.Seems to be common in hip surgery.
    It is more common in senior citizens that suffer from pre existing
    memory problems or head injury or brain infections.Also may be
    caused due to prolonged
    medication of neuro drugs.
    The main symptoms of delerium Are:-
    Disorientation:-Where they do not know where they are or what
    day it is,whether it is day or night and easily get distracted.
    Paranoid thoughts where they become distrustful of people
    caring for them.
    Seeing or hearing things that are not there or hallucination.
    Agitation and restlessness make them shout or become
    aggressive and they try to pull out IV lines.
    Sometimes they become extremely normal within hrs
    and change again to delerious state
    Usually symptoms tend to be worse during nights.
    Normally investigations are conducted to look for possible causes.
    Sometimes sedatives wont work at all.
    Some worry that they have become mad.
    In our case all test results were normal. Yet delerium
    continued and resulted in cardiac arrest.
    They say that delerium can recur again and again and
    new episodes of confusion are common.
    it is very easy to advise to remain calm.But it is very
    difficult for the patient as well as the caretaker.
    For three continuous days my husband was saying only"RAM'
    without any break,though he was fully conscious.I do not know
    whether he was chanting Rama Naamam or it was a result of delerium.
    After Raama Naama stopped, he became totally unconscious
    leading to further deterioration.
    The same neuro drugs which kept him alive for 32 long
    years,enabled him to
    fulfill all his duties, have become the cause for final journey too on 5th january.
    I have earlier known something about delerium but
    personally experiencing
    the same thing is really too taxing.
    As senior citizens it is better to be aware of such issues.

    Dear Madam Sister @jayasala42

    I am deeply saddened of your above post conveying passing away of your beloved shri Jayaraman on Tuesday 5th Jan.

    Since the time, I confirmed about correctness of your guess about my late brother BHARATHI ADIPODI,
    V. S. Mani, I longed to meet my anna’s Friend Shri Jayaraman but it could never materialise.

    Now that he has attained the lotus feet of the Lord , I lost an opportunity to hear from Him about more of my Anna.

    While I join you in this hour of bereavement, I pray to God to continue to give strength to all your family members & you to bear the loss.

    Thyagarajan
