CNA, I want to applaud you for doing a series about lonely deaths and shedding light on the issues and the people who do the very difficult but critically important work that comes with each death in the community, be it the cleaning up or helping to take care of their last rites/funeral etc. I'm very very heartened to know we have such caring, kind and compassionate people in Singapore to help those who have passed on, on their own. Thank you very much to all of you for all that you do because it must not be easy on you.

I noticed that there haven't been many comments about Marie. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to her. Coming to a foreign land and helping our fellow Singaporeans is truly commendable. It's even more noteworthy than what many Singaporeans do. Thank you, Marie, for stepping up beyond nationalities to help Uncle Peter. May you be blessed with health and happiness 🫡

I remembered when I was a young nursing aide in an old age home. I sent an elderly off..all the way to the grave yard..it felt good. That was the only time needed. Thankfully my two years there..all who passed on..had relatives to take them away! I myself am in my sixties now! Feeling good also. May all have a good day

@celestialstar124 2 күн бұрын

Sadly i cannot feel good as long as a life is lost. I am still learning to be less attached to the cases i handle. I hope some day i can be like you, understand that i should be feeling good for helping those in need.

I dont mind to die alone neither do i wish to live long. As a healthcare worker i have seen many patients regretted living well. Living life FULLY while alive is more important than dying. Death is part of living and we donno when will we go or who is around us when we go. Rip to the deceased. It is very inportant to do Advanced care planning when one is still sane and healthy so that should they pass on, the family members will know what to do and what the deceased wish for.

Don't we all? Unless there's a cult of people who arranged to end it all at the same time together... There's voluntary loneliness and then there's involuntary loneliness/thwarted belongingness.

When i save up much more money and i grew older. I really hope I can contribute to help those who die alone like setting a team of workers to attend to them. Sadly i am not prepared to handle with body at age 30s now. I haven't have the courage yet. I highly respect those people who choose to be undertaker for charity to help the poor. Even those who are willing to do it for very small fee. I am so grateful to know of multiple such kind souls too.

Indeed a fall is extremely dangerous for all elderly. May my fellow Singaporean be nice and try to help all the elders who happen to fall near by you. Remind me of China social media video of no one willing to help the fallen seniors.

May GOD bless all of you for your good0 deeds.✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏 Praying daily for all the deceased, may they RIP.✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏 Thank you CNA for this sad episodes of our aging society. Hope our govt will help communities to get together n bring respect, love, joyful neighborly events to bring neigbors together n help each other. Nowadays, time0s are more difficult n we need to stop being arrogant n proud, but be respectful of others, n show compassion to all big n small, young n old. Afterall, we will all grow old n die someday, so it's good to treat others like you would want others to treat you good.🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

What happen after that? The kins, relatives , you got and never came to see you or know you existed then....suddenly make a appearance to lay whatever claim on any estate that gets left behind with or without a Will. This is the reality. Both the rich or the poor who dies, gets the same issue. This is what 99.999995% of humans are. Especially in a VERY EXPENSIVE COUNTRY LIKE YOURS!😆😆

@helen661 3 күн бұрын

He says that way cause he's in charge of muslim burials and answering questions given by CNA in their Muslim burials perspective, they can also do Muslim burials. If CNA interview a taoist or hindu priests, they will also say the same for their own religions. Cheng Hong handles all death of any religion so that why you hear them talking about all religion.
