Hello Luella,
Thank you for featuring another inspiring woman of courage.
In my Care Giving training we learned about the 5 steps of dying, although I did not remember who the author was - now I know.
Not meaning to put a damper on this forum yet I feel I still must add - Until Administration in Care Facilities stop thinking about making a profit from their residents by charging for extra services and let their staff of caring men and women attend to the residents emotional care - not just their physical needs which is mostly been done (spiritual is often taken care of by visiting pastors etc) and charging these residents for this extra time. All that Elizabeth started will be lost.
So many caring staff have left because they were not able to do what they do best - Care for the residents, talking and listening with them one on one. Doing the extra little niceties that one would do for another.
Kind regards Amanda
