Call the Midwife's Sister Monica Joan confronts painful fear – but a heartwarming moment follows ...Middle East

Mr Fisher's arrival filled his heart, too – as it did everyone who came into contact with the distinguished gentleman.

Terminally ill, he longed to spend the end of his life in his childhood home: the very flat Cyril's currently living in. And he also wanted to do so as a Fischer, using his original name.

"I failed to remember the fact that home is where your family are… or were," he added.

And after spending an evening together, discussing their respective religions, an idea sparked that would give Mr Fischer everything he needed before he shuffled off this mortal coil.

Death was near but in that moment, Mr Fischer felt at peace as he reached for Sister Monica Joan's hand and thanked them all for their companionship.

"I have seen death before," remarked Miss Higgins's grandson Harry, who was also there when Mr Fischer passed. "It is terrible, and it can be beautiful. I think today it was that."

"I have seen lovers come to fetch the dying, I have seen mothers come, but I have known no lover, I have borne no child, and my parents have spurned me," she said, melancholically. "I have asked myself more often of late than in years gone by: who will come for me when my time on earth concludes?"

"Your sisters will comfort you — those you knew in life, those who coached you through the novitiate, those who knelt beside you in prayer and by the beds of everyone you served," said Sister Catherine. "So many sisters will come."

Amen to that. Sister Monica Joan may not be as visible in the community as she once was, but her presence remains invaluable. And, when her final moments come, there will be no shortage of people waiting to hold her hand.
