I understand how she is feeling.  My mother
suffered a stroke three weeks ago and still is in
the hospital as I am writing this.  I know that
my participation in the SCA in the future will be
limited, but I am not giving it up entirely.
After having watched a good friend care for two
invalid parents, I know that one needs to have a
day away from one's patients occasionally in
order to keep up one's vitality and joie de
vivre.  Just going to the occasional SCA event
can do this.
Also, if you and Atenveldt really care for
Mordonna, you [in the collective sense] should
all volunteer to parent sit for her for an hour
or two so she can spend time away from her
patient and be able to do even little things for
herself.
