My husband's only material item at the time of his death. His wedding ring. He lost weight, they taped it. This is my 2nd ring. Same issue.

I am so sorry, I didn't realize you had lost him physically now. You have had a very long grief.

Such exceptional empathy you have, Colleen. From a patient viewpoint I see ranges. Empathy, distance, neutrality, cruelty. Burnout.

Well, I don't know about that, I just hope for the Golden rule to be in place. We all need each other's support.
