I've been told I am very patient, and believe I am but lately 2 episodes have really tried me.
One is an elderly lady I visit in hospice care... Her mind is going and she is forever complaining and accusing whoever she has as a roomate that they are stealing from her ect, ect. She doesn't remember events as they occured. When we my husband and I explain that her roomate couldn't have stolen certains things from her because......................
She doesn't believe us... She calls the food they give her as garbage like she has in the last 4 hospitals... Her constant complaining, griping and accusations are getting to me... She is and always has been mean to the nurses, and staff...
The second person is a friend who is mentally ill but refuses to take her medications. Her life is totally out of control but she claims she is healed.
Last time I saw her she talked fast continually for 8 hours... My other friend takes Sanex when we see her. When I got home I was sick, my head was realing, my chest hurt, I couldn't get to sleep I felt so oppressed. I don't believe as she does, and the verse in scripture, Let the dead bury the dead ...........kept coming to mind.
