In my early professionals years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this
way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?
-Carl Rogers

I have been counseling an adult woman with a presenting problem of difficulty in coping with the death of her mother. Her mother and grandmother (who is also deceased) suffered from progressive Alzheimer’s disease. My client revealed to me that she administered a lethal dose of sleeping pills to her grandmother during the final stages of the Alzheimer’s, and that she also caused the death of her mother by withholding cardiac medication. It was then revealed that it is likely she will have to take care of a third relative with Alzheimer’s disease, an elderly Aunt. It is important to understand that my client is not a bad person and did what she did while under tremendous stress and pressure and with feelings of compassion for the deteriorating condition of her mother and grandmother. My question is in two parts: First, what are my ethical obligations upon hearing the manner in which my client’s mother and grandmother died? Second, am I responsible to do anything about the upcoming situation with the Aunt?
