I would agree with Judy. It sounds like a HIPPA HIPPA HOORAY violation. If Jeannette is “hearing” this in the public, then it is safe to say it may qualify as a violation of her privacy. Call the hospice, file a complaint with them. That should put him on notice and off the track for using her as his “example”.
PS: Jeannette, after that move on, girl! We all live until we die.

Nothing we ever do is good enough for you women. If we don’t jump at your every whim, we are insensitive. If we show sensitivity, we are hypocrites. Is there an owner’s manual somewhere? Because I really give up trying to figure this one out.

Life is full of ironies and minor forms of retribution. Judy missed the clues here, totally. Jeanette seems to have moved on with her life, but the bastard she once lived with is, it seems obvious, still mired in guilt. In fact it’s clearly obsessing him, which is why he talks about her illness to strangers. That won’t go away very soon.

Forgive? Not so fast!. She should phone Mr. Clara Barton and tell him to stop referring publicly to her illness — even without using her name. No harm in showing him she knows all about him and what the bastard’s up to these days — but no need to involve the poor hospice.

Harboring anger is bad for anyone’s health. She should forgive, not for him but for her, and let it go.
