Communication Quote by Laura Bartnick
““As a young woman in college, I had no inkling about the sufferings of old age. Proper communication would have informed me and transformed the situation, but in the dearth of it, there was chaos, even horror. The memory of it was shoved into a container at the back of my mind, and there it stayed until this past year. Could I have been more creative in finding answers and making sure the woman found peace? This kind of experience is the good dirt of a writer.””
