Oh I'm sorry @Changing4Best - but I do admire your pragmatic and loving way you deal with this sort of stuff.
Caring for the elderly is a very unique job. It takes much courage to know that your clients are entering the last stage of their life and you cannot do anything to stop that from happening but you can and do make it easier for them.
You have such a loving attitude towards these people. I know it hurts to let them go. The fact that it does hurt means you are doing a great job. I would be concerned if you didn't miss them.
I'm sorry you cannot sleep. It's just turned three in the afternoon here. I've got back from my swim, been to see my psydoc and wondering what the hell I am going to have for dinner.
I hope you manage to get a few hours of sleep C4B. :hug:
Interestingly enough, my client is still allowed to go to the place where I care for my other clients. So, I still have 3 clients and things will continue on as they have been for the most part. She was upset today, that is for sure. Yesterday she lost her home, her cat and her independence. I would expect nothing less from her than tears, anger and confusion which is exactly what she was experiencing today. By the end of our day, she was back to her usual self though, thank goodness. As for me, I had a super stressful day and I am up again, wide awake. I am going to try to go back to sleep now.
