Bravo! Wonderfully written, honest and true to the very core of humanity. Those stories brought tears to my eyes. Thinking of my late Mother thinking how she needed a loving compassionate ear when she was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Our previous family physician had lost his compassion and was no longer interested in eye contact or human interaction. It scared my mother to think she would have to deal with him. Then we were given this blessing of our new family physician Dr. Luchkiw, well it was refreshing to see how right away you picked up on what my mother was needing. You embraced her and reassured her that you would be there for her and you went above and beyond your duty for not only my mother, but for our family. You gave my mother hope and you gave her compassion, understanding, respect, love, but most of all you gave her a human connection. You held her hand when she spoke of her fears,you gave her hugs which she loved from you, you made her feel valued, and you listened intently with concern and you advocated for her when she nor I could in the end. You helped me bring my mother home to die with dignity not to be left rotting alone in a home held hostage from her loved ones. You are the very existence of what a family physician should be, an extension of our family and we hold you in the highest regard for who you are and for what you do. God Bless you and thank you 🙏
Your mama was the sweetest person. I adored her and cherish every moment I was privileged to care for her. Thank you for sharing part of her story and my relationship with her.
