"Do you know how difficult it got when everybody had an opinion they wanted to share? Everyone just wanted to tell me how we should have pushed foreigners. When my mother said no, how we should have pushed my mother in receiving treatment when she said no. How I should have taken better care of her. Some of them even said that it could have been better if my younger sister took care of my mother."
"constantly, I have heard from my younger sister. What would have happened if she was there in my place? If there would have been a different outcome or not, and I was dying inside every day." Joyce broke down at that sentence but she did not stop talking. Even through her tears and cries, she continued, " I have done everything I could but in the end I just wanted to (little) numb the pain because honestly everyone thought I was the support system they needed and I was not.. it."
