Wow, you women have some heavy experiences on your minds. Anne, I wonder about the look in the eyes you are describing. I think some people may just have one step on this side and one on the other? MR, I would not blame you for how you feel. Sometimes we are "done" emotionally. I don't like it when people use the bible to justify and manipulate the wrong they have done.

Hi Princess Lenora

That is one of the things I don't like either...I've known a lot of folks (besides my dad) who do use the Bible like that...and it is a great reminder to me to avoid that when I talk to, and work with, others. And I don't always succeed (grin).

Anne327, do you work in a Hospice? Mom received hospice services in my home for several months and then the last week was in an in-patient hospice. All the staff deserved halos in my book.
I know what youo mean by emotionally detaching. I worked with severely profoundly hadicapped children for almost 30 years. The people who were unable to learn the art of detachment didn't make it very long in the profession. When changing the diaper of a young adult you either detach from the reality of the situation or the job eats you up. Detachment is a great skill when, and if, used at appropriate times.

Anne3,
In the hosptial where I work, I, too, am exposed to smokers on oxgen! It'so frightening! Still smoking,and they could blow up, as a matter of fact!

Will you agency allow you to reject clients you don't feel comfortable with?
I moved to the E.R. for this reason among others. I saw hospice patients taking risks with their quality of life.
What does the agency say?

Gims,

I am so sorry you are going through this, but grateful you are reaching out. Even though I don't know you, I understand the pain you are feeling. I am sorry your father is non-responsive. It makes me grateful that I can type these words and click on "send." You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks Lgood... after the hospice house's medical team was able to get his medications revamped, he was able to go home. He's been home for four days now. He's bed ridden, but he was able to send out his monthly devotional by email... received it in my email just yesterday.
