A physical therapist is working with a 98-year-old female in a nursing home. During today’s session, the PT notices that the woman seems quieter than usual and a little sad and distracted. When she asks the woman how she is doing, she tells the PT that she is sad today because it’s the anniversary of her husband’s death, but that her daughter is checking her out this afternoon for a visit to the cemetery.
