Worries and concerns.

Its been a week of tears and upsets. Four of the six people I went to see this week, were very upset and worried about things going on in their lives. There have been lots of cups of tea and listening.... I didnt refer to my aims and action plans too much. I realized early on in this job, that I dont have to cheer people up when I visit them or fix things for them before I leave ... talking things through can be a great help. Oh, and I have gently mentioned to them...that it is okay to cry sometimes. And if they do...I will probably join in aswell.
