Album: Sam Oliver by Sam Oliver (33)

The Path into Healing by Sam Oliver is a model for healing through the feminine side of the soul. The purpose of this book is to outline a process whereby a person can understand and acquaint him or herself with an aspect of our awareness often neglected in our world today. Much of the emphasis in our world is on what a person can achieve without regard to how these achievements affect the world and the people living in these achievements. The Path into Healing is an attempt to give acknowledgment to the inner qualities of living that our outer world thrusts upon us.

Just think for a moment what a child does and says when he/she gets hurt. They want their mommy. Why is it that when we are hurt, we look to the feminine soul to give us strength and direction. On September 11, 2001, the first thing we did when New York City was bombed was to turn inside ourselves in prayer, for direction, and for hope beyond our external world being destroyed around us.

This inward look into a world that is with us throughout our life is a womb like state of being. Inside us is an incredible source of strength and energy capable of nurturing a dying person through death, helping us rebuild what is destroyed in our external world, and transforming the most drastic event into a presence of peace. Thus is the world of the feminine spirit.

Liver Failure

Liver failure occurs when large parts of the liver become damaged beyond repair and the liver is no longer able to function.

Liver failure is a life-threatening condition that demands urgent medical care. Most often liver failure occurs gradually and over many years. However, a more rare condition known as acute liver failure occurs rapidly (in as little as 48 hours) and can be difficult to detect initially.

The most common causes of chronic liver failure (where the liver fails over months to years) include:

• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis C
• Long term alcohol consumption
• Cirrhosis
• Hemochromatosis (an inherited disorder that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron)
• Malnutrition

The causes of acute liver failure, when the liver fails rapidly, however, are often different. These include:

• Acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose.
• Viruses including hepatitis A, B, and C (especially in children).
• Reactions to certain prescription and herbal medications.
• Ingestion of poisonous wild mushrooms.

The initial symptoms of liver failure are often ones that can be due to any number or conditions. Because of this, liver failure may be initially difficult to diagnose. Early symptoms include:

• Nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Fatigue
• Diarrhea

However, as liver failure progresses, the symptoms become more serious, requiring urgent care. These symptoms include:

• Jaundice
• Bleeding easily
• Swollen abdomen
• Mental disorientation or confusion (known as hepatic encephalopathy)
• Sleepiness
• Coma

If detected early enough, acute liver failure caused by an overdose of acetaminophen can sometimes be treated and its effects reversed. Likewise, if a virus causes liver failure, supportive care can be given at a hospital to treat the symptoms until the virus runs its course. In these cases the liver will sometimes recover on its own.

For liver failure that is the result of long-term deterioration, the initial treatment goal may be to save whatever part of the liver is still functioning. If this is not possible, then a liver transplant is required. Fortunately, liver transplant is a common procedure that is often successful.

The best way to prevent liver failure is to limit your risk of developing cirrhosis or hepatitis. Here are some tips to help prevent these conditions.

• Get a hepatitis vaccine or an immunoglobulin shot to prevent hepatitis A or B.
• Eat a proper diet from all of the food groups.
• Drink alcohol in moderation. Avoid alcohol when you are taking acetaminophen (Tylenol).
• Practice proper hygiene. Since germs are commonly spread by hands, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after you use the bathroom. Also, wash your hands before you touch any food.
• Don't handle any blood or blood products.
• Don't share any personal toiletry items, including toothbrushes and razors.
• If you get a tattoo or a body piercing, make sure the conditions are sanitary and all equipment is aseptic (free of disease-causing microorganisms).
• Be sure to use protection (condoms) when having sex.
• If you use illegal intravenous drugs, don't share needles with anyone.

When I was a resident Chaplain at the University of Kentucky, I would often baptize those who were dying. On one occasion, I was given the task of baptizing an aborted child that did not make it through labor. I was given a small fetus in an empty room. This child was not much bigger than my thumb. I remember wondering what this infant's mother looked like and who was the father. What were they going through? I wondered who was helping them through their grief.

     This fetus was given to me, so I could baptize him/her before further burial procedures were to take place. In the back of my mind, I began to imagine what this child's life would have been like if this child had of lived. What baring on the parents would all this create in their heart and in their soul?

Hospice Care 

Hospice is a philosophy of care founded on the belief in the sacred dignity of human life.  Hospice care affirms life and regards dying as a natural process.  Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death.  Hospice care adds life to one's days, not days to one's life.

Hospice is not euthanasia.  Hospice provides palliative (comfort) care to patients who are terminally ill so they can be as comfortable and alert as possible.  Euthanasia is the intentional killing, by act or omission, of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit. 

When patients elect hospice care, they keep their own physician who approves medications and treatments that are consistent with national accepted standards of care and the patient’s wishes.  Patients are encouraged to participate in developing their own treatment plan.  Hospice staff members follow physician orders in a compassionate and professional manner, but only when the patient or their trusted caregiver authorizes us to do so. 

Hospice does not withhold or force medications, nutrition or hydration on any patient.  The decision on whether or not adult patients receive medications, food or fluid remains with them or their chosen caregiver.  It is never the decision of hospice personnel, friends or family members who the patient has not authorized, no matter how well the intentions might be.  

Unlike other forms of health care, hospice focuses on both the patient and the family.  Because an approaching death is very stressful for a family, we encourage open and honest communication during this time.  This helps minimize conflict and disagreements.  Occasionally, some family members do not always come to an understanding and can have strong differences.  These disputes can be extremely painful for everyone involved, including the patient. 

As one might imagine, watching a loved one die is never easy, but there can be immense satisfaction to families in knowing that they provided loving and caring support.  The same holds true for hospice staff and volunteers.  Most people who work for hospice do not consider it simply a job.  Most feel called and consider it a ministry and are incredibly passionate about their labor.  While often difficult, hospice is one of the most rewarding occupations one can have.
