There is little anyone can do to
calm the sorrow a family member feels when their loved one is swallowed up by
death.
The outpouring of love from everyone
is appreciated, but there is nothing anyone can do or say to make you feel
better.
Except, oops!
This is, basically, what happened to
Bogumila Kolkiewicz, the niece of Janina Kolkiewicz, who was found on November
6 lying on the floor of her home in Ostrow Lubielski, a town in eastern Poland,
by her niece. The 91-year-old appeared to have no pulse and her breathing had
stopped. She called Wieslaw Czyz, their local doctor, who pronounced the woman
dead.
Dr. Czyz said: “I have 28 years of
experience. There was no pulse, no sign of breathing and no heart rate.
“Her eyes were open but they were
not responsive to light.
“So I wrote the death certificate.” It
was then that the body was taken to a local morgue and the bereaved family
began to make arrangements for the funeral.
So, you can imagine the astonishment
sent to the nerves of the morgue staff when 11 hours later they saw her body
bag beginning to move.
