Hard Holiday Season

Holidays are always stressful I think, but this holiday season has been a rough one for me at home and at work. My husband had surgery, which is always scary. He is recovering well, but you hate to see the ones you love in pain, ever. At work things have been even more difficult. I have just had a run of patients that I could not help. That means that I have to break the bad news to a family during an already emotional time, a time that is supposed to be reserved only for happiness and togetherness. This is so hard for me, I feel like I am letting down my patients and my families/clients, even though I didn't cause the cancer, I didn't cause the meningitis, etc. I want to have the power to take it away, I want to have the power to lessen the blow, I want to have the power to make it all right. If wishes were horses...
