I Would Rethink Being A Mortician.

In our world today, there are some people who think that your job is different from you and that it does not define you.

Yes, that is true for honest jobs.

I believe your job and how you do it potrays the kind of person that you are. It shows what you value.

For instance, a hit man could say when he does his dirty work, whether his victim was innocent or not that he was just doing his job, not knowing that God's judgement will come on him very soon. These kind of people have killed their conscience and consider what they do as a mere tasks so they can provide for themselves.

What's the No No Job for me?

---

I am currently doing my 6 months IT (Industrial Training) in the Federal Hospital, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

You know, each time someone asks me what course I am studying in the University and I say "Human Anatomy", they immediately exclaim "Woah, you are trying! So you work with corpses?"

Though that's not entirely true or false 😊. We work with both corpses and living patients.

When we started the IT, I witnessed father embalming of a woman who just passed on for a few hours and not to long after that, a woman who just delivered a set of quadruplets died in the hospital and was immediately brought to the morgue for embalming.

Standing there, I couldn't but help to feel so sorry for them. Although that wasn't my first time seeing one but my first time seeing them embalming to preserve them until they are buried amd these ones were fresh.
I just keep on wondering of these women were born again becias eif they weren't, I knew where they would be going to and that hurt me badly.

The reason I can't do this job personally is because I can't help but think of where my clients would end up as I embalming them. It's not the fear of facing a dead body but the feeling of seeing someone who was once vibrant, loved, lie breathless before me amd I would have to put big needles through them.

The thought of whether the person is making heaven or hell disturbs me.

Did I have any bad experinece with it?

---

I would not day I had a bad experience with it but it is a very humbling job for me.

I began to understand certain things about life and how precious a soul is to God.

It was a great experinece but because of the kind of person I am, I would rethink taking up that kind of job no matter the pay.

Though this is one job that is like a gold mine because just like babies are born everyday, people die everyday so the job is in high demand. Even my course mates were joking about coming together to own a morgue so when they graduate (we are in final year now) they would be self-employed, making good money on a daily basis.

Sure, I could own a morgue but I will not work there.

That'd be all for now...

Till next time beautiful soul... ❤️❤️
