Last night, the trained nurse said she may not last the night - and because I've grew a bond between this resident as you do (My job is to make these elderly people happy and smiling) I had to go and see her. So, I went to see this lady who I love just as much as my own Nan, and her family is gathered round her. I don't really know what to say, honestly. I give her a kiss on the forehead and say goodnight to her and because it's really difficult, to see them deteriorate from being lively and happy to being lifeless, it's hard to find words to say to the family and in the end - I didn't say anything other than a thank you, and I feel quite bad. I just couldn't find the words to say to that family. I didn't mean too, it's hard, ya'know?</blockquote>
