k339 02/10/2011thursday in japan. 通称・愛称「よどきり」と呼ばれて親しまれている大阪市にある、淀川キリスト教病院は、吹田市への移転の気運も回避（６万署名を超える住民の市内存続を希望する熱意の署名活動による効果）して、「よどきり」と言えばホスピス（緩和ケア）と認識されている緩和病棟の病床数も、２年後には現況の２１床から２７+５床に拡充されるそうです。緩和ケア専門医師（大阪では、お一人だけ）を招いて講師を依頼して下さった人の影の尽力に感謝しています。そして、セミナー会場のわきあいあいとした雰囲気に、介護家族を住民相互にお互い様という気持ちで支え合う力強さを、ひしひしと感じました。往き返りの電車では、思わず熟睡していましたが、心に灯る皆さんの愛情に支えられて、今日も無事に迎えられました。講師の先生と同名（苗字）の親戚を、「よどきり」で看取った事も、たいへん深く不思議なご縁を感じております。セミナー会場を提供してくださった方々や、お互いに励ましあおうとなさる皆様の、ご健勝を願っております。If the Yodogawa Christianity hospital in Osaka City with which it is called, alias and pet name "Only dregs" and is familiar evades the tendency to the move to Suita City (effect of the signature activity of zeal that hopes for the city continuing of the resident who exceeds 60,000 signatures), and says, "Only dregs", the number of beds of the easing ward recognized the hospice (palliative care) seems to expanded from 21 alcoves of the current state to 27+5 alcoves in two years. We wish to express our gratitude for the effort of the shadow of the person who invites the palliative care specialist master (Only one person, in Osaka) and requested the lecturer. And, powerful that supported the family caregiver in feelings of externals each other between residents each other came home to harmonious atmosphere of the seminar hall. It was supported by love of you who lit up in the mind, and it was received safely today though it slept instinctively soundly in the train of the going return. I feel a very deep, mysterious edge as for taking care of lecturer's teacher and the relative of the same name (family name) in "Only dregs". We(motherRaku,Kiyotaka) wish the good health of the people who offered the seminar hall and everybody who tries to encourage it each other.
