I suppose I just don't get the fear factor. But that is me not them. Yes, I too believe it is stigma that is a reason. A shame that in this day and age we live in that kind of world. I get so upset by this. I want to grab the family member and give their head a shake.

The two I visit perk up with joy when they see me which is great. What isn't is seeing those already sad then get disappointed.

I think not visiting a friend and loved one is cruel.
