[quote=Anonymous]Join a support group before you go. Almost all these places have them. Grieve in the support group before and after you visit. If you visit more you will get used to it and it will get easier. But it's never fun. I find visits are nicer when I bring a gift. The gift can be anything. Sometimes it is their things like "new" clothes or stuffed animals/costume jewelry, etc. Make sure it is something you don't have any attachment to because other residents can walk away with items. Sometimes the visit might be chatting with another resident and I find that's nice too because often some never get visitors. [/quote]
