Dear friends,
Mr. Gurjeet Singh, Oral Cancer Patient and one among our Palliative family members, died at 5.50 PM today, 26th September 2021 in Shanti Avedna Sadan, where he was admitted by DNipCare on referral from Delhi State Cancer Institute (DSCI) for Hospice Care on 04th September 2021. Earlier he was admitted in emergency of DSCI by somebody known to him as a destitute patient since his family members whom he had deserted 9 years ago, did not stand up for him. We were supporting him in DSCI and admitted him in the same destitute status in Shanti Avedna Sadan.
We continued our efforts to persuade his family to come and visit him once, but in vain so far. However, difficult to accept the failure, we ( Mrs. Sunita George of Shanti Avedna Sadan, Seema Prasad, our Volunteer and KV Hamza ) ventured into their house in Vikaspuri today around 4.30 PM and after hearing all the vows and issues Mrs. Urvashi, the wife of Gurjeet Singh and their children faced during the last 9 years when he was away in Gujarat after deserting the family, we finally could convince her to talk to him over a video call arranged to Sister Tabita Madam of Shanti Avedna Sadan. Even if not in person, the virtual meeting of the couple was the last fulfilled desire of Gurjeet Singh before his taking his last breath at 5.50 PM.
The family has, now agreed to reach by 7.00 AM tomorrow to claim the body and cremate it in Green Park crematorium. It will be appropriate, if some of our volunteers also ensure their presence at 7 AM to bid farewell to Gurjeet Singhji whom we were taking care ever since he reached DSCI Emergency Ward. Let us also pray for the departed soul.
