[Answered]: One year has passed since Douglas has died

One year has passed since Douglas has died. Nathan seems very frail. His clothing is in disarray, and he has slight body odor. He has lost weight. He responds to questions very slowly. Nathan admits to crying frequently and not sleeping well. He says he is very depressed. His joints are bothering him more than usual. He is eating poorly because his appetite has decreased. He has come to the clinic with his sister Martha. “I miss Douglas every day. I don’t know how to spend my days without him. I see him everywhere. Sitting in his favorite chair, in the yard sitting in our spot. He loved the garden. If Doug saw it now…Why did God take Douglas? He was such a good man.” Nathan begins to cry. Martha moves closer to her brother and puts her arm around him. Recognition of Cues (Assessment) – Identify through observation What information is relevant?
