What reading level is Being Here book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a moon outside and the walls of my room are painted in silver. The colours merge with my dream. It is not uncommon to wake in the early hours of the morning. Pain is often my alarm clock.
This time, though, my body is at peace. It is my mind that hurts.
I know.
I cradle the knowledge through the long hours to dawn.
*** Jane takes my hand.
‘It was peaceful, Leah. I promise you that. She didn’t suffer. Just went to sleep and didn’t wake. I am so sorry. I know you were close.’ There are te...ars in her eyes. I wonder how she copes with looking after the elderly. Death comes with the job. What effect does that have over time? The constant erosion of emotions by the battering waves of death. The accepted wisdom is that nurses become immune. It is their only defence. But Jane is different. I am glad she is different. When we lose the ability to care we become less than human. But the toll … I nod. I have had a number of dark hours to think it through. I do not know how I knew.
