People in Logan, Ohio may wonder how could their fellow residents be murdered over the issue of what to feed an ill woman. This bed-ridden person witnessed a loud, bloody dispute involving her diet related by numerous, news sources including Time and AP News. The fight between the relatives was whatever the terminally ill Darlene Gikey, age 59 should be consuming either an orange or tea and toast. The disagreement motivated Gikey's husband, Paul to shoot dead his own son, and two of Darlene's sisters. Mr. Gikey, age 63 soon later walked outside his home to his front pouch and shoot himself to death in suicide.

From this news item there is confirmation that home health care for family member could be a daily, stressful matter. We understand it is not easy to cope with, to wait in troubled feelings in grief of a dear relative passing away day by day. I look forward to the future day when no resident will say "I am sick".
