Money Does Not Matter ; Only Love Does Matter

Money Does Not Matter

Only Love Does Matter

能干及卓越的能力,在这个时候,完全用不上场。

那天她入院了。

已经与脑癌持续抗争了3年。

中药、西药、化疗、电疗、气功、针灸、排毒、断食……全不见效。

她是一名生意人。单身、38岁。

拥有一栋别墅、一间店铺、还有一门生意。非常能干,非常卓越。

年前,她知道自己患上脑癌,便尝试所有的可能性,想抢救自己的生命。

只要是可以用钱买到的希望,她都毫不犹豫的去做。

年前,她呕吐、头晕、腹泻、消瘦,全拜化疗和电疗所赐。

但她依然没有放弃抢救自己的生命。

因为父母早逝,她的原生家庭早就无名无实。

她常孤单上路,也常独自与自己分享成功的时光。

她以为生命重要的部分是金钱、名利、成就。

她忘了,生命更重要的价值,其实超越这些。

年前,她诚实地告诉远在他方的哥哥、姐姐,她生病了。

毕竟,一个人住在新加坡,习惯了。

身为老幺的她其实不想干扰哥哥、姐姐的生活。

可是又不得不告诉他们。

住在中东的姐姐回来了。

住在荷兰的哥哥也回来了。

她告诉他们:“不用怕,你们的妹妹至少还可以多活几年!”

大家看着她,都选择了沉默。

姐姐选择留下来,照顾她。

哥哥离开新加坡的时候,紧紧握着她的手。

他们都知道,这很可能是他们人生中,最后一次的见面了。

XXXXXXXXX

今年年初,她独自做了许多功课。

她要准备死亡,面对死亡。

她用她一贯的能干、卓越的手法去准备死亡。

她搜集资料、拜访殡仪馆、挑选葬服、筛选单人照片、处理遗嘱、考量葬礼、参访火葬或土葬的相关地方,然后写下遗书。

遗书里头决定了所有她做的决定:当她死了,姐姐只需要联络几位相关人物,就行了。

她甚至连费用都付好了。

我不惊讶她的表现,一如往常,同样的能干、卓越。

她感受到自己的身体日渐衰弱,她知道要来的时间快到了。

她带着准备好的心情去迎接死神到访的那一刻。

XXXXXXXXX

是的,那天,她入院了。

进入慈怀病院的那一天,癌细胞已经腐蚀她的声带、喉管。她说话困难,呼吸也困难。

她躺在病床上,用呆滞的眼神看着站在床边的我。

她只能以点头、摇头,来表达自己。

她病情恶化的速度惊人。她一天一天快速的衰弱。

38岁的她,头发已经完全脱落。

住院的那几个礼拜,她的视觉开始模糊,听觉也逐渐模糊。

她很慌,很怕。

她用尽力气,喊了一声:“我要回家!”

从中东回来照顾她的姐姐尊重她的意愿,安排救护车送她回家。

我们站在门口看着救护车送她离开。

梁医生对我说:“癌细胞已经开始攻击她的视觉及听觉。她很快就无法看见、无法听到、无法说话了。癌细胞,太强了。”

医生拍拍我的肩膀,走开了。

这是什么癌症?为什么用这样的方式来虐待人类?

这就是人生?!

看起来全是虚幻,却又痛得如此真实的人生?!

XXXXXXXX

第二天,我打电话给她的姐姐,问候她的状况。

姐姐说她依然大喊大叫。

早上她睡觉,晚上却一直大喊大叫,甚至还用牙齿咬姐姐的手。

姐姐被她折腾得很苦不堪言。

住在荷兰的哥哥再次回来,陪着姐姐一起去面对这一场注定打不赢的战争。

结果,哥哥的手也被咬了。

第七天,他们还是送她回到慈怀病院。

经过一个星期的战斗,哥哥高血压,姐姐严重失眠。

再度入院时,情况更不妙了!

梁医生的预言成真了――她终于看不到、听不到,也说不到,只能靠双手来接触外在的世界。

可想而知,那是一种多么深的恐惧!

活着虽然有意识,却再也没有接受或表达意识的管道了!

正因为癌细胞迅速吞噬了她头部的所有器官,这个世界远离了她,她也远离了这个世界。

她完全无法放松,拼命用手、脚、牙齿来紧抓每个事物。

她早上不睡觉,晚上也不睡。

护士担心她会从床上跌下来,得到家人的同意后,他们把她绑在床上,以免她随意动弹摔下了床。

此外,医生也开始为她注射安眠药。药量多到可以让一头大象立即晕倒。

可是,她睡了2个小时又醒来,拼命的移动身体,抓住那条绑在腰部的布带。

她不断地挣扎,不断地抽泣,不断地求救。

她好苦,好痛苦。

从她脸部的表情、身体的语言间,我可以完全感受她的痛楚。

看了,心里也好难过。

陪着她的家人一同难过。

她万万没想到的是,能干及卓越的能力,在这个时候,完全用不上场。

她看不到我们,听不到我们,也无法告诉我们。

她盲了、聋了,也哑了。

是的,她准备了所有,却忘了准备一颗坚韧的心,更忘了准备一颗不畏惧的心。
可是试问,又有多少世人,能拥有如此的能力?

我也不禁要问:“死亡”,真的可以准备吗?

XXXXXXX

折腾了个礼拜。

医生持续为她调整药物的用量,只为了减轻她的痛。

作为医疗社工的我,则持续为她家人做出许多的对谈、协助,只为了减轻家人的痛。

后来,她的心情渐渐地变成了一种接纳。

一种不得不接纳的接纳。

她不再咬人、不再挣扎、不再翻来复去。

她接纳了,这是一个她要去面对的事实。

又过了个礼拜,她死了。

在一个滂沱大雨的早上。

哥哥、姐姐站在病房外面,让医生在病房里头确认死亡、发死亡证件。

我恰好从走廊经过病房。

哥哥把我拦住,告诉我:“她走了。”

然后,握住我的手忍住眼泪,对我说:“谢谢你这几个月来的协助。”

我连忙说:“不用客气。”

她走了。

对她而言,这是一种解脱,也是一种终结她对家人的不舍。

对他们而言,也是一种解脱,却是一种延续他们对她的不舍。

“不舍”,就这样继续放在那些还活着的人的心中。

…………………………………………………………………………………

朋友:

当天晚上,我坐在电脑前,写了一段话问自己:“死亡真的可以准备吗?”

坦白说:我还找不到答案。

希望有一天,我可以找到我自己的答案。

对了,忘了和你们分享,她的姐姐对我说了一句话,是我永远都无法忘记的。

她入院的第一天,姐姐坐在辅导室告诉我:“Money does not matter. Only love does matter.”(试译:金钱不是一切,爱才是一切。

是的,她姐姐和哥哥的爱does matter

我全程看到那份他们俩给她最后旅程的爱,我很感动,因为那是金钱怎样也买不到的。

希望她能够带走的,不是她的名利、金钱,以及成就,而是家人给她的爱。

以量
