Some people feel awkward talking to someone who is sick.
They don't know what to say. The person I'm caring for doesn't want people to see him when he is sick. Some people are well meaning, but they boss us around or say things that are upsetting. Some people stay too long and tire us out. When people are sick, it is normal for their families and friends to express interest and concern and to offer to help.
