Reply #43: This is what my mother does now. [View All]

[Clark2008]

She does hospice in the mornings while my son's at school and then cares for him when he gets out so I can work (when I have a job - am laid off just now - in fact, ironically, I'm a finalist for a marketing administrative position at a funeral home/cemetary, partially because of my background).
But, I digress.
I've seen my mother cry for hours over the loss of some her patiets. She's been doing this for years, yet, it never quite gets to the point where her empathy is gone.
I think I'll tell her to read this thread tomorrow.
BTW, she's a Catholic and so liberal she makes ME look "conservative." Oh - and she's Southern.
