NEW HAVEN/SALISBURY Jerry Harold Beacham, 75, passed away at home in the loving arms of his wife and children on April 7, 2021. He had been diagnosed with ALS in 2018, an incurable, fatal disease, but had most likely been suffering from it since at least 2012. ALS may have robbed him of his physical strength, but never his emotional strength. The night before he died, in quiet conversations, he chose the hawk as his spirit animal to soar through the sky. As he laid down on his hospital bed on that beautiful sunny morning, a majestic hawk landed in a tree just off the deck, as if to say, “follow me … it will be okay.” Jerry passed without hesitation or fear.
A look inside hospitals stretched thin during the holidays
MISSION HILLS, Calif. - Providence Holy Cross Hospital is the last place Humberto Perez wanted to be for Christmas. Says the 39-year-old construction worker, It’s sad because you re not with your family. You’re missing them and you obviously want to be with them.
Perez got COVID-19 at work. So did his wife and son recovering at home. Perez is still in a bed at Providence Holy Cross.
Usually, hospitals try to dress up for Christmas with tinsel, decorations and so forth, but not this year. Dr. Marwa Kilani who heads up the Palliative Care Department says, Usually this lobby area is bustling with families and little kids running around with lots of good spirit and lots of cheer. We have a piano over here. That isn’t being used. No songs like I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas on the piano, and no staff singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
