[For My Coby]

When my mom was in the hospital a few years back and not doing well, I ran across a sign/poster/saying that I printed up and hung on her door. It was directed at the professional staff (medical, cleaning, dietary) and somehow reminded them that this "old woman" they saw now was a real person and had been a beautiful young strong woman at one time who had her own dreams, career, etc., etc.

I don't recall exactly how it went, but the sentiment kindly asked them to please see the woman inside this old body and treat her with the respect that was given throughout her younger life. I know that caregivers become immune and sometimes jaded in their daily jobs, and it was a very respectful reminder to them to remember why they have chosen to work where they do.

Does anyone recognize this? My mom is out of the hospital but in transitional care in a nursing home (hopefully to return home) and a good friend's mom is in the hospital in very bad unresponsive shape. I thought it would be great for both of us to hang up. But I can't remember where I found it and can't seem to search for it on line using the right search string. Thought someone else might have used it before.

Thanks if you can help!
