Battered spirit 折磨的灵魂

Better place, battered spirit, a purgatory with lesser fire.

Visited my old friend today yet at another new nursing home.

She has been moved again, but this time to a better place... and by far the best home for her.

The place is clean, less crowded, and with a nice small tree and shade.

But it does not help her battered spirit. She is frail and her whisper hardly audible.

Heard from the helper, sometimes, she refused to eat and drink for the whole day, and demanded to go home.....

She does not seem to enjoy her favourate food we brought.

I told her to be in peace with herself... this is a good place for her to stay until God's calling her home.


今天探访了老朋友。

她又被搬迁到一家新的老人院，不过，这是这么多间住过的最好一间。

这个地方打扫的干净，没那么拥挤，屋边还有一棵小树及树荫。

不过，这还是一个人间炼狱，只是火焰稍减，对她历尽折磨的灵魂，毫无帮助。她更加的虚弱，声音无力，步行还颤抖，需要扶持。

听院里的工人说，有时她不进食，连水都不喝，只吵着要回家。。。

我们带来了她最喜欢的食物，但她好像没有兴趣。

我告诉她，必须心境平安，这里是个适合她住的地方，就在这里等待天主的回家召唤吧！
