Great articles. How do we deal with the fact that our older, son (anRM who has been ill for 20 years after he got parasites during his mission and now suffers from Crohn's disease) does not ever have a ministering brother, or formerly, Home teacher, visit him? How do we, who are active, older and have been ordinance workers, and have held many callings in the Church deal with the fact that we NEVER see Ministering sisters or brethren? The man who is assigned to our family is old, has had a stroke and is not very cogent; his son, his companion, suffers from severe autism. We see no one. Granted, we are under some sort of quarantine, on and off, but this has gone on for years, and we don't know why. We have approached, EQ pres, supervisors, etc, and there is no response. As we read other members' postings, we see they are visited and cared for. What to do? Even a phone call would be welcomed. Someone once told me that we shouldn't feel badly because we are so strong we don't need to be visited. Huh?
