Bittersweet

After closing our boutique, I did a complete change of careers and started to do in home health care. I have started caring for a couple in their late 80's. I loved it! He was just pure sunshine and she was very grouchy. Some days she would keep telling me to go home she didn't need me, but when she asked me to help, or we would do something together it was just heaven.

Last night was my last shift working with them. Their health has deteriorated and they now need 24 hour nursing care, so they are moving into an assisted living facility. This is sad for me because I will miss them terribly. I am comforted that they will be getting the care they need, because in the last month that I had been with them I had started feeling inadequate to provide some of their care. So this is a bittersweet ending. l will miss working with them, but I know they will be getting the care they need. That made loosing them as a client a bit better.
