It bought a tear to my eye. :sad:

I have a question for you guys.

Who is supposed to be pitied? The old lady or the family? Or the granddaughter?

Any replies would be welcome.

mmm.. I hope our focus is not on "pitiness".. that can't help ease the situation.
I choose to stay positive, focus on learning how to cope, and how to help the patient..

But I guess it's important that we identify the problem & seek treatment/help asap.
