Sad Day

It was a sad day to be an acute care occupational therapist.  An elderly couple admitted because the EMT found their house in disarray and the husband threatened to shoot himself and his wife.  Their family did not know... and my heart breaks.  She told me that she "has a soft spot for that guy"  Then the guy who has been in the hospital for over 6 weeks.  When I first saw him he had no problem putting on his socks... today I had to do it for him.  What do I do with days like this?
