I got to thinking about some of my old client's from South Carolina yesterday...I couldn't remember the last name of one, and the spelling of the last name for the other. I finally did figure it out, and I found the obituaries of all four people.

It deflated me so much...One person actually passed 2 months after I left. He was in fairly good health (for mid 80s) when I left...His wife died in a facility nearly 2 years later, not in her own home as was hoped. My other couple, my lady died in February, her husband didn't make it quite 2 months without her. They were so devoted to each other...

It made me realize, as much as I love what I do, it can be heartbreaking. I miss working in the hospital where I see people get well and go home.(for the most part)..I think once my license is up to date, I will seek a hospital position. It's given my heart a change of mood, to say the least.
