I experienced a caring environment when my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. Just like the movies, your body really goes numb when you receive this type of information from a doctor. This was an extremely difficult time in my life because at the age of 23 I had never experienced death of a loved one and ultimately with terminal cancer we were headed down that road and I was not prepared. I spent many nights crying and asking God to give me the strength and courage that she needed from me. However, I do believe that God places people in our lives during our most difficult times and this is when I had the privilege of meeting her home health nurse. My grandmother absolutely adored her and anticipated her visits. She was very compassionate
