Your narrative teamed with these photos is heartbreaking, Lucy. What inspirational work you do. To face such challenges each day is daunting. My stepdaughter worked with AIDS patient long before treatments, when each diagnosis was a death sentence. After a few years, she was exhausted from the emotional and mental toll it took on her and changed fields. However, she went from AIDS patient to abuse victims with the same eventual result. Take care of yourself so you can help others.

Thanks for sharing this.
