EXTRACT FROM REFLECTIVE ESSAYAfter all we are human with feelings and get attached

to our patients. Besides sometimes the situations remind us of our own personal experiences.

You have described your feelings well, Mildred.The next paragraph probably belongs more in the

Evaluation section.  John was a broken man. However during the time

that we were providing care for his daughter, I had anticipated that his grieving would be difficult as he was loosing his only surviving family member from his immediate family. (Did you ever find what was the cause of the death of the other family members? Could this have had an impact in his grief and bereavement?)
