I'm really pleased. Hospital visiting can be so difficult, not the least because of the energy you expend trying to be upbeat. Very hard when you're walking into a ward full of elderly and very ill patients. We're all here to help you with our thoughts and do let your Mom know how much we care as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481340601069600500.post-79945279719996537992008-03-21T23:38:00.000+09:002008-03-21T23:38:00.000+09:00Jennifer says it well... so, I'm just here to hold...Jennifer says it well... so, I'm just here to hold your hand, listen and nod.

How long will you stay to help?<BR/><BR/>It's ok to not like hospitals, ok not to want to have to go -- while it's true that the patient is the one who suffers most acutely, the reality is that the process is also very, very hard on loved ones. It's a different kind of suffering, but it's ok to acknowledge that it is a suffering nonetheless. Saying it gives you access to support, help, love, and helps process it better than keeping it in.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383220573177416855noreply@blogger.com
