She is the main carer for her husband, who is currently staying at a care home until Gladys is discharged from hospital. Gladys admitted to the nurse that she had been experiencing regular chest pains for some time; however, she had been self-administering aspirin to herself, rather than go to the doctor.

According to Nurses and Families: a Guide to Family Assessment and Intervention, “The offering of information and opinions from health-care professionals is one of the most significant needs for families experiencing illness” (Wright and Leahey, p. 160).

Their mother had to remain laying completely flat and not move too much and the family showed concerns about their mother needing to lie flat when she is hungry as well as the fact that she did

When the doctors barge in berating my dreams carelessly I feel even more hollow, but then I remember that my mom is still here. My mother dedicates herself to me and my sickness.
