The Case of Mrs. G.
Mrs. G. is a 75 year old Hispanic woman who has been relatively well all of her life. She had been married for 50 years and had five children. Her children are grown with families of their own. All but one of her children live in other states. Mrs. G.'s husband passed away last year, which was devastating for her. She had been very close to him and relied upon him for everything. He was "the life of the party" she always said and was a loving and caring man. Since his passing, Mrs. G. has continued to live in the house they shared for 35 years. In the last month, Mrs. G. has fallen twice sustaining injuries, though minimal. Her home health nurse comes weekly to check in on her. Mrs. G. likes her very much and wishes she could come more often. Mrs. G.'s daughter who lives in the next town over, has been worried and decided with the urging of her siblings and the doctor to start looking for an assisted living facility for her mother. She found one last week and talked with the Director who said she would be happy to help in whatever way was best. The daughter decided to tell her mother that it was time for her to move, so she can be cared for and be safe. When she told her mother, Mrs. G. cried and said, "This will not happen ever. I plan to stay in this house of loving memories for the remainder of my life."

How would you best describe Mrs. G.'s feelings about her life, her family, her traditions,
and her future?

With regard to her life, Mrs. G. can be said to be a woman who holds dear her family life.
This means that she has a closely-knit family, with close attachments to members of her family.
She places family first, and she takes this responsibility so seriously that she cannot be shaken,
not even by her daughter. The importance of family can be seen in the way she has so much
reluctance in leaving the home that she has known for 35 years; one which has memories of
herself and her husband. The significance of getting treatment is not even top of mind, but her
attachment to her deceased husband is (Adams & Grieder, 2013). The passing away of her
husband can be seen to have a devastating effect on her, especially since she has spent a lot of
time with him. Her life can best be described as involving close family attachments. Her life is
best defined by the presence of family.
Her family is the defining factor for her, which includes the memories of her husband. On
