March 31 Last chapter of new book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
A voice from a caregiver...
127. 叫苦連天 ***
叫苦連天的日子
好多時像吃黄蓮
苦不堪言的滋味
試問會有誰會知
錦上添花人會多
雪中送炭有幾人
最好自己來安慰
快快樂樂過日子
127. The temptation to complain ***
Continuously suffering pain day by day either physically or psychologically is like eating the rhizome of Chinese goldthread. The bitter taste is beyond description. No one can understand what you are going through under these circumstances. Actually there aren’t many people in this world who are willing to deliver charcoal to keep people warm; but there are many people who are delighted to deliver flowers to celebrate people’s promotions. What you really should do is to make sure you have a positive attitude and be at ease in handling your current difficult time.
128. 苦盡甘來 ***
人生未必盡是美
不如意事常八九
視病為人生過程
從中努力去奮鬥
將內心中的鬱苦
轉化為成長甘露
滋養出樂觀心態
去達成苦盡甘來
128. After the bitterness comes the sweetness ***
Life may not necessary be perfect. It is common that 8 or 9 life events out of 10 are unpleasant. Being sick is one of them but you need to struggle to help your patient to fight against his/her disease. Both of you need to turn your inner bitter feeling into a new strength to help you become positive, and ultimately turn all bitterness into sweetness.
129. 恩情親情 ***
恩情親情上天賜
有緣才能在一起
緣份注定共苦樂
服侍病人雖辛苦
內心安樂己足夠
多謝上天賜我緣
有緣才可有福份
能夠看護個病人
129. Family values ***
Be thankful that you have family members around you. It is fate that has brought everyone together to share both sadness and happiness. Although taking care of a patient requires a lot of sweat and hard work, it is, in fact, a privilege to be in a position to have the strength to take care of your patient. You should thank Almighty God for giving you such opportunity to show your compassion of taking care of your patient.
130. 好好笑一笑 ***
微微一笑又一天
微笑令人心開朗
做事也會輕鬆些
苦口苦臉又一天
做人為何要苦臉
何不好好笑一笑
一笑其實好值錢
有時有錢買唔到
130. Put on a sincere smile ***
Wear a smile everyday. This will help you to become open-minded and willing to take things easy and relax. Yet, you can choose to wear a bitter wrinkled face and live a miserable life. Why do you want to do that? Why don’t you smile everyday? The truth of the matter is that a smiling face worth’s a lot of money. Sometimes you can’t buy people’s smile even though you may be filthy rich.

March 29 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 空間"
March 29 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
A voice from a cargiver...
119. 空間 ***
人人都須要空間
照料者也不例外
就算半個鐘也好
做自己想做的事
例如閱讀篇小說
又或者寫篇散文
紀錄日常小生活
唱歌幾句都是好
119. Space ***
Everybody must have some space of their own. Caregivers are no exceptions to the rule. Take half an hour to do something on your own, for yourself. You can read an interesting article, write a piece of prose, or record some of your daily activities in your journal. Finding time to sing a little is just as good.
120. 壓力太大 ***
如果壓力是太大
影響到睡眠不足
或者情緒不穩定
感覺無助又無望
此時最適合去做
一些減壓的運動
例如瑜伽或按摩
將情緒回復安寧
120. Too much stress ***
When you have too much stress, you may end up with insufficient sleep. It can also affect your mood to the degree that your mood is unstable and it makes you feel that you are useless. At this moment, your best bet is to perform some stress relief exercises e.g. yoga or massage. Such exercises may bring back your peaceful mind.
121. 容易疲倦***
如感覺容易疲倦
每天都很容易累
這是有病的先兆
不可以不加理會
首先問一問自己
是否心情不愉快
是否壓力是太大
對症下藥才有效
121. Feeling tired easily***
If you feel tired easily and this happens daily, it is an indicator that you may be sick. Don’t ignore this situation. Ask yourself whether there is anything that bothers you; what might have caused you to become unhappy or are you having stress from being a caregiver. Once you find out the answers, take appropriate action to deal with the situation.
122. 病向淺中醫***
勸君病向淺中醫
留意飲食的習慣
多吃生果多渴水
每天要早起早睡
忙極也要做運動
遇到壓力侵擾時
運用深腹式呼吸
把精神鬆弛下來
122. Get medical help as soon as you can***
Get medical help as soon as you discover you are sick. Pay attention to your daily diet. Eat more fruits and drink more water. Get up early and retire early at night. Breathe deeply when faced with stress. Relax and keep up a good spirit.

March 28, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 求助"
March 28, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
A voice from a caregiver.
115. 求助 ***
照料者也要求助
求助並不是無能
也不是給人負荷
更不是不負責任
病人反而會希望
照料者可以休息
這樣可減輕病人
個人內心的壓力
115. Seeking assistance ***
When you feel you cannot handle the situation, you should seek assistance. Seeking assistance doesn’t mean that you are incompetent; it also doesn’t mean that you are irresponsible for being a caregiver. On the contrary, your patient will feel pleased that you seek assistance. This move, in fact, has reduced the stress on your patient.
116. 支持組 ***
照料者的支持組
是個求助好去處
大家互相來安慰
聽聽別人的經驗
學習怎樣去應付
不同的惡劣情況
徵求別人的意見
解決面臨的問題
116. Support group ***
One of the best ways to look for assistance is to join a support group. The support group is a place where people can comfort each other and you can learn from other people’s experience. You can solicit their suggestions on how to help you cope with your current situation.
117. 開心的一刻 ***
每一天臨睡之前
想想當日的瑣事
找尋開心的一刻
如給病人個輕吻
大家暢談手拖手
病人的一聲多謝
又或者一聲唔該
都可算是種樂事
117. A happy moment ***
Every night before you retire, try to look for a happy moment that happened during the day. This includes the kiss you gave to your patient, your holding hands with him/her when you talked to him/her, a word of thank you and a word of appreciation from your patient. Thinking about these moments will make you happy and help you sleep well.
118. 減壓好方法 ***
笑是減壓好良藥
最好大家齊齊笑
與病人共坐欣賞
一套滑稽好笑片
笑話連天更加好
笑到見牙唔見眼
開開心心過一天
留下美好的回憶
118. Methods of reducing stress ***
Maintaining a smile is the best medicine to relieve stress. The best method is to laugh together with your patient. Watch a comedy movie together. It is even better if you both laugh freely and have a big laugh appearing to be closing your eyes and showing your teeth. It is a good thing to have a happy day and leave behind some happy memories.

March 27 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 用智慧解難"
March 27 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
113. 用智慧解難 ***
人一生過程之中
必定有酸甜苦辣
只要領悟過中苦
是生命性靈成長
用心態解决苦難
悲苦不再是悲苦
進而去超越痛苦
跳出苦楚無憂慮
113. Use your wisdom to handle difficult times ***
In everybody’s life, there are ups and downs. As long as you are willing to accept adversity and use your wisdom to handle difficult times, the adversity you encounter need not result in a bitter experience. You may even be able to transcend your adversity and free yourselves from needless concerns.
114. 人生崎嶇路 ***
人從出生到死亡
總有做不完的事
有解不完的問題
旅程充滿崎嶇路
時刻被困難困擾
不知如何會是好
如感覺撑不下去
此時應該去求助
114. The road of life can be rugged ***
From birth to death, most people will have things that cannot be completed and problems that cannot be solved. Life journey is full of rugged roads. It isn’t easy to walk through these roads and at times you may feel you can’t move forward. In this situation, the best way to overcome an obstacle is to ask for external assistance.

March 26 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 須要有朋友"
March 26 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver
111. 須要有朋友 ***
人不可孤獨生存
此時更須要朋友
知己難尋要珍惜
得閑大家吹下水
淡茶共同話家常
有哀有歡把話說
鬱悶之時聚一聚
可解孤獨寂寞感
111. We all need friends ***
No one can live without friends. Under conditions of stress, you definitely need true friends. It isn’t easy to develop good relationships. Treasure your friends. Whenever you have time, get together with your friends. Getting updates from each other and talking about the good old days can represent a form of joyful entertainment. Whenever you feel lonely, get together with your friends. Your feeling of loneliness will disappear.
112. 傾訴心聲 ***
試問世上有幾人
能做到雪中送炭
但錦上添花的人
偏偏是滿佈天下
有苦最好自己知
就算想與人吐苦
要找個可靠的人
才可以傾訴心聲
112. Find someone to talk to ***
How many people are willing to deliver charcoal to people in winter times? But there are many people who are willing to deliver flowers to celebrate other people’s success. Be careful with whom you want to share your sorrow with. Only you, yourself, can understand what, and how you’re going through during rough times. Choose a person whom you can trust before you share your sorrow with them.

March 25, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 建立新興趣"
March 25, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
109. 建立新興趣 ***
一位癌病照料者
除了要看護病人
凡事都要看開些
最好分散注意力
試下建立新興趣
或可脫苦見天日
減輕個人的壓力
樂觀輕鬆向前行
109. Develop a new hobby ***
As a caregiver, in addition to taking care of your patient, you need to be more open-minded. Try to spend some time to develop a new interest. Diverting your energy to a new interest will help you get rid of any bitter feeling you may harbor. By doing so, you will see the light of the day. Definitely this will reduce your stress and make you become optimistic to move forward.
110. 私人空間 ***
人總要有些空間
給自己小小時間
休息小小也是好
每天抽多少時間
找個安靜的地方
合上眼睛念句經
默默祈求天保佑
保佑病者早痊癒
110. Your own time ***
Everyone should have some time for themselves. Make good use of this time. Take a rest or take care of your personal affairs. In addition, everyday take some time to find a quiet place and pray to Almighty God wishing for speedy recovery for your patient.

March 24 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 旅程會輕鬆"
March 24 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
107. 旅程會輕鬆 ***
人生是一個旅程
帶著沉重的包袱
如想旅程輕鬆些
盡快把包袱放下
或清理好個包袱
丟棄多餘的憂慮
丟棄消極的心態
這樣旅程會輕鬆
107. It can be a relaxing journey ***
Life is a journey and you are carrying a heavy baggage. If you want to travel light, you either have to give up your baggage or need to clean up your baggage. Discard your excessive worries and your negative attitude. If you can do that, your journey will be a relaxing one.
108. 清理包伏 ***
如果不肯去清理
身肩重負的包伏
它會愈來愈加重
行動自然不舒服
如果天天背上它
日子只會更沉重
肯甘願清理包伏
日子會活得自在
108. Clean up your baggage ***
If you are not willing to clean up your baggage, you will have to carry a heavy bag on your shoulders. Such a burden can only get heavier everyday. It will cause your movement to become very uncomfortable. If you continue to carry your baggage, your days ahead will be gloomier. But if you are willing to clean up your baggage, your days ahead will be relaxing.

March 23 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
105. 磨練 ***
人要像梅花一樣
經得起嚴冬磨練
不像温室的花朵
難耐風雪的考驗
要鍛練內心平静
有一顆健康心念
做到令病人安樂
才會令自己安寧
105. Disciplines ***
Plum blossoms in winter can be a model for us to follow. Unlike flowers grown in greenhouse, they can withstand severe cold weather. If you want to develop tranquility, you need to have a healthy mind. Only then, will you be able to help make your patient feel peaceful. If your patient feels at ease, you will have the same feeling too.
106. 看心理專家 ***
病者長期不停怨
事事都從壞處想
會影響病者復元
使病者更加痛苦
令病者家人擔憂
此時要勸解病者
最好看心理專家
助病人解憂消苦
106. A psychologist can help your patient be positive ***
If your patient continues to harbor internal resentment and is negative about everything, it will slow down the recovery process. It may even make the patient feel the whole experience more painful than it need be. Needless to say, the family members will worry about the patient’s attitude. Under this situation, the best way to solve it is to ask for help from a psychologist. The psychologist may be able to help relieve the patient’s stress.

March 22, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 洗耳恭聽"
March 22, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver
103. 洗耳恭聽 ***
最難應付的時刻
就是病人的怨言
滿口怨恨的態度
句句是憤世嫉俗
此時最好的答話
就是無聲勝有聲
只要肯洗耳恭聽
病者會感覺舒暢
103. Listen with full attention ***
Dealing with a patient’s complaints is one of the most difficult tasks. When your patient is full of complaints and anger, and utters words of giving up his/her life even though there is hope of recovery, silence is your best response. What you can do is to listen to them with sympathy and they will feel better.
104. 轉向樂觀 ***
盡量找尋好機會
病者面前講好話
多說些快樂往事
令病者想起往日
也曾有過好時光
或者可改變心情
把話題轉向樂觀
沖淡負面的話題
104. Be optimistic ***
Try to look for opportunities whereby you can say encouraging words. Talk about the past happy events. This will give the patient a chance to recall his/her past happy experiences. In this way, you will be able to change your patient’s attitude and direct him/her to talk about topics related to happy times instead of dwelling on negative topics.

March 21 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 歡欣接受"
March 21 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
A voice from a caregiver
101. 歡欣接受 ***
世上有得必有失
有高潮就有低潮
人生有生老病死
為何要抗拒現實
愈是抗拒愈痛苦
何不歡欣去接受
接受生命不平靜
會得到內心平靜
101. Accept reality with grace ***
In the world, whenever there is gain, there is also bound to be loss. It is akin to the existence of high tides and ebb tides. Life is no difference. It has birth, aging, being sick and death. Why do you resist reality? Why don’t you accept reality with grace? If you are willing to accept that tranquility in life sometimes is upset, you will feel tranquility inside you.
102. 正面與負面 ***
從每一個遭遇中
去找正面的意義
雖無法消除痛苦
可帶來平静感受
負面應付每遭遇
會引來負面情緒
使你感天昏地暗
沒可能消除痛苦
102. Positive and negative ***
Look for the positive side of each bitter experience. Once you find the brighter side of each experience, even though you may not be able to get rid of your pain, you will, at least, feel at ease. If you handle your bitter situation with a negative attitude, it will make you feel gloomier and there is no way you can get rid of the painful feeling.

March 17 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 靈性的成長"
March 17 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
99. 靈性的成長 ***
人活著是為甚麼
是否來承受苦痛
或者來享樂人生
逃避問題是無用
遭遇是人生過程
每個遭遇是挑戰
可豐富個人體悟
幫助靈性的成長
99. Intelligence growth ***
Why do people live? Have they come to this world to suffer or to enjoy life? To avoid facing reality is futile. You need to accept the fact that adversity is part of life. Each bitter experience is a challenge by itself. It can enrich your personal knowledge and help develop your intelligence and wisdom.
100. 微微笑一笑 ***
想想目前的問題
與其抱怨心不安
不如問該做甚麼
又或者與其預言
事情一定沒得救
不如問醫生怎做
又或者與其流淚
不如微微笑一笑
100. Smile as often as you can
Think about the current problem that you are facing. Instead of complaining about the situation, why don’t you ask yourself what can be done to solve the problem. Don’t simply assume that it is a hopeless situation. Instead ask the doctor to see what can be done. Instead of bursting into tears, why don’t you handle the situation with a smile?

March 16 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 美酒佳餚"
March 16 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
97. 美酒佳餚 ***
美酒佳餚雖是好
但一定要想清楚
病人是否可以吃
如果有害而無益
要鼓勵病人放棄
沒有益處的食物
才可以配合病療
保護病人的健康
97. Good wine and good delicacies ***
Although good wine and good delicacies are tempting, you must verify that the patient is allowed to drink and eat such delicacies. If it is no good for the patient, encourage the patient not to drink and eat this type of food. You need to protect your patient’s health.
98. 病者要忌口 ***
要鼓勵病者忌口
對不應吃的食物
一定要阻止病者
不準許隨意亂吃
否則會折磨病者
也同時拖累家人
莫讓病者來貪食
而弄到身體受害
98. Be aware of the patient’s dietary restrictions ***
Be aware of the patient’s dietary restrictions. Make sure the patient doesn’t drink or eat anything that is no good for him/her. If there is laxity in this respect, not only the patient will suffer the consequences, but also the family members will worry about the patient’s suffering. Don’t let the patient over-eat to satisfy his/her excessive appetite. Only allow them to eat the right portion of healthy food.

March 15 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 悲哀憤怒"
March 15 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
95. 悲哀憤怒 ***
每個病人的感受
都有不同的地方
情緒低落是自然
悲哀憤怒是難免
病人想哭讓她哭
世上沒有好藥物
可解個人的情緒
唯一方法靠自己
95. Sorrow and anger ***
Each patient's feeling is different. It is natural to see a patient being sad and miserable. If the patient wants to cry, let him/her cry. There is no good medicine in the world that can change a patient’s feeling and attitude. It has to come from them.
96. 電話的騷擾 ***
不停電話來問候
本來是一件好事
但是內向的病人
不想與人來通話
最好處理的方法
把電話設置靜音
或轉至另一條線
讓病人有些安寧
96. Telephone's disturbance ***
Although it is a good thing to receive calls from friends and relatives to send regards to the patient, it can be both annoying and disturbing when the phone doesn’t stop ringing. Besides, the patient may not be in a good mood to answer the same questions over and over again. The best way to handle this is to put the phone on silent mode and transfer the line to another line. Let the patient have some quiet time.

March 14 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
93. 臉帶歡容 ***
眼見病人受苦痛
內心當然是更痛
但要謹記著一點
苦口苦臉不可現
苦臉會影響病人
增加病人的擔憂
臉帶歡容是最好
可令病人心安靜
93. Put on a smiling face ***
When you see your patient suffer from his/her illness, you will naturally feel pained as well. But you should remind yourself that you shouldn’t put on a bitter wrinkled face. That face will only add more to your patient’s worries. The best thing to do is to put on a smiling face. That will put everyone at ease.
94. 鼓勵病人 ***
對病人時加鼓勵
一定要耐心看護
不被病人的消極
影響自己的心情
病人如愈是消極
自己就愈要積極
最好找心理專家
助病人改變心態
94. Always give encouragement to your patient ***
Always give encouragement to your patient and be tolerant when attending to the needs of your patient. Don’t let your patient’s negativity affect your attitude. If your patient is negative, you should be more positive in handling the situation. You may consider getting assistance from a psychologist to help the patient to change his/her attitude to cope with the situation.

March 13, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
91. 改變想法 ***
人悲傷你也悲傷
會創造更大悲傷
黑暗沒法有光亮
只會陷入深黑暗
何不試改變想法
凡事都有另一面
從好方面去著想
一定會有好結果
91. Change your attitude ***
When people are sad, you join in their sadness. This can only make the situation become sadder. It is like walking in the dark, there is no light and it can only get darker. Why don’t you change your attitude? Look at the bright side of everything and it will make everyone feel better.
92. 焦點 ***
焦點放在痛苦上
那會有快樂可言
集中精神在憂慮
怎會有安寧心態
焦點放在喜樂上
一定有積極心態
想的都會是好事
一切都從心所願
92. Focal point ***
If you make your painful feeling the focal point of your feelings, how can you expect to be happy? If you place all your attention on worries, you will not have a peaceful mind. But if you orient your thinking towards happy events, you will end up with a positive attitude. With such an attitude, you naturally will think of the bright side of everything and things will work out as you wish.

March 12 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
89. 痴人夢想 ***
夜半無人雙淚流
滴滴淚水心暗酸
沒法能夠去接受
病人病重要受苦
期望世間有奇蹟
新藥出世有希望
藥到回春有起色
痴人夢想有誰憐
89. Moron dream ***
It is difficult to hold in your tears when no one is around at midnight. You can’t accept the fact that your patient has to go through such painful experience. You have a dream and hope that there will be new medicines that can help cure cancers. No one can understand what you are going through and why you have a dream of counting on miracles.
90. 憂慮 ***
假如心景是空虛
未能做到隨遇安
腦海空虛難明料
擔憂病人的進展
明日之憂今日愁
欲想解憂沒法子
憂慮可能是多餘
明天也會是好日
90. Worries ***
If you cannot accept reality, you will definitely feel empty and at a loss. Your mind is full of worries. You worry about the progress of your patient. You worry about what will happen tomorrow. Your excessive worries may not be necessary. Have you ever thought that tomorrow can be a good day?

March 11, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
87. 化療的藥物 ***
有種化療的藥物
為免燙傷手和腳
在化療過程之中
病人要將手和腳
浸入兩盆冰冷水
可想冰痛的程度
難為病人受的苦
眼見心痛肉都痛
87. Chemotherapy medicine ***
There is a chemotherapy medicine which has the side effect of burning both the hands and feet. In order to reduce the side effect, the patient has to put both hands and feet into ice cubes during chemo application. You can imagine how painful it is to put hands and feet in ice. When you see your patient going through such process, naturally it hurts you too.
88. 上天不公平 ***
憤怨上天不公平
病人偏偏要受苦
今時今日的日子
比地獄更加難受
試問有誰能了解
內心憤恨怨不停
為怕令病人擔憂
未敢與病人分憂
88. Life can be unfair ***
We can’t blame you having resentment against heaven and earth. It is OK for you to feel the world is unfair that your patient has to go through such painful experience. It is also natural for you to feel living in this world is more cruel than living in hell. No one can understand how you go through this and the hatred that you may have against this world. Yet you can’t share your sorrow with your patient because you don’t want him/her to worry about you.

浸入兩盆冰冷水
可想冰痛的程度
難為病人受的苦
眼見心痛肉都痛
87. Chemotherapy medicine ***
There is a chemotherapy medicine which has the side effect of burning both the hands and feet. In order to reduce the side effect, the patient has to put both hands and feet into ice cubes during chemo application. You can imagine how painful it is to put hands and feet in ice. When you see your patient going through such process, naturally it hurts you too.
88. 上天不公平 ***
憤怨上天不公平
病人偏偏要受苦
今時今日的日子
比地獄更加難受
試問有誰能了解
內心憤恨怨不停
為怕令病人擔憂
未敢與病人分憂
88. Life can be unfair ***
We can’t blame you having resentment against heaven and earth. It is OK for you to feel the world is unfair that your patient has to go through such painful experience. It is also natural for you to feel living in this world is more cruel than living in hell. No one can understand how you go through this and the hatred that you may have against this world. Yet you can’t share your sorrow with your patient because you don’t want him/her to worry about you.

March 10, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver
85. 傷心欲絕 ***
眼見病人受苦楚
一天比一天更苦
傷心欲絕是難免
病人痛苦呻吟聲
潺潺聲音不停叫
夢裡苦叫更可怕
此情此境剌入心
理智失常唔出奇
85. Feeling extremely sad ***
When you see with your own eyes that your patient is suffering more pain every day, it is no wonder you feel extremely sad. It is scary to hear the non stop painful moaning. Also it is unbearable to hear his/her murmur fearful and painful sounds in his/her dreams. Be careful and don’t let this situation affect your health as well.
86. 環境考驗 ***
要勇敢承擔責任
將壓力化努力
則力量源源不竭
即使是困難重重
以堅強毅力應付
可解决各種難題
經得起環境考驗
定活得心靈安靜
86. How to handle the challenge1 ***
You must be very brave to undertake the responsibility of being a caregiver. Turn your stress into a new strength to help you manage your current environment. Even though it is a difficult job to be a caregiver, you must address the challenge with a strong will. You must remind yourself that you can handle the challenge and live through this difficult period with a peaceful mind.

March 9, 2012 隨緣活下去 Life goes on
三月九日 March 9, 2012
隨緣活下去
崎嶇漫長的人生
痛楚難免要面對
上天一個月之內
先帶走心愛賢妻
昨天再帶走岳母
人去樓空情還在
難捨無奈要接受
苦笑隨緣活下去
Life goes on
Life, at times, is nothing but a rugged road full of unanticipated sorrows. Within a month, God has taken away my great wife and yesterday my beloved mother-in-law passed away. Although both houses are empty, our love remains in both the Chan’s and Yuen’s families. It is very difficult to let go of our beloved ones. I have no choice but accept reality. What I can do is to follow my fate, put on a smile with hidden sorrow and move on with my life.

March 8 - New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言
March 8 - New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Message from a caregiver
癌病照料者的心聲
83. 悲傷流淚 ***
眼見病人受的苦
難免會悲傷流淚
總覺得無能為力
一片黑雲蓋滿天
苦悶心情難形容
內心帶罪極懊悔
悔恨沒法有能力
幫助病人減痛楚
83. Burst into tears sadly ***
Inevitably, it is natural to burst into tears sadly when you see your patient suffer serious pain. Sometimes you feel you are incapable of handling the current situation. You may feel depressed and think the world is covered with nothing but black clouds. It is difficult to describe your depressed mood. You feel like you have nothing but regrets. You regret that you are incapable of assisting your patient to recover and help him/her to reduce his/her suffering.
84. 無須太擔心 ***
問題愈想愈擔心
其實事情沒太糟
首先問一問自己
最壞情況是怎樣
能否願意去接受
是否會藥到春回
既然有辦法解决
無須要太過擔心
84. Don’t worry excessively ***
Sometimes the more you think about a thorny problem, the more intractable the problem appears to be. First, ask yourself how much worse the situation can become. Are you willing to accept the worst? Is there a chance that the disease will be cured? If the answer is positive, there is no reason to be overly worried.

March 5 New Book Don't Give Up 抗病良言 之 影響一家人
March 5 New Book Don't Give Up 抗病良言
Voice from a Cancer Patient Caregiver
照料患癌病者的心聲
81. 影響一家人 ***
癌病影響一家人
病人須要人幫助
可惜環境未容許
人人有時間幫助
結果一人擔全責
壓力對於照料者
不會少過於病人
一樣會失眠疲倦
81. Cancer affects the whole family ***
Cancer affects not only the patient but the whole family. What the patient needs the most is the support of everyone in the family. Unfortunately not everyone can afford time to take care of the patient. Usually it ends up only one family member becoming the primary caregiver. The stress level for this caregiver is not less than what the patient has to suffer. As a caregiver, you can be tired and lose sleep wearily.
82. 助病人痊癒 ***
身為一個照料者
莫低估責任輕重
除了要看護病人
還須要了解病況
才可以感情支持
才可替病人說話
按時給病人食藥
幫助病人早痊癒
82. Help the patient to convalesce ***
People shouldn’t underestimate the efforts required to carry the responsibility of being a caregiver. Apart from taking care of the patient, you need to understand his/her medical condition. Only then, will you be able to provide sentimental support and at times can speak on behalf of the patient. You must make sure your patient takes his/her medicine on time. You must do everything possible to help your patient recover speedily.
