Dear Katharine: It's been too long since our last meeting, though it was good to see you then and how quickly the afternoon passed. You were indeed a generous host; the ginger tea cakes you made were divine and the orange pekoe tea was a delightful treat. However, I as we were dining and coming up to speed with the current events in each other's lives, I could not shake the feeling that you were haunted by an unshakeable sadness. There was a profound and apparent melancholy which pervaded your actions and made it difficult for you to make eye contact with me. You spoke in a monotone fashion and often stared straight down into your teacup. You sighed frequently. I don't even think you were aware of doing it. It saddened me deeply to see you like that and I wondered if I should ask you about your present state. However, I feared putting you on the spot and I was afraid that you would despise me for doing so. I decided that I would write you a letter instead, expressing my dismay and sincere concern. My darling Katharine: you've been a tremendous friend to me since we were little girls and I would be no friend to you if I turned my back pretended that all was fine with you. It clearly is not. You've clearly become consumed by a deep and debilitating depression. Your depression is of course understandable. You lost your younger sister, Lilly, nine months ago and still are clearly haunted by it. Lilly was a brilliant and charming little girl and her death in the boating pond was an absolute tragedy. It also wasn't your fault; you weren't even there. In fact, had you been there the tragedy still might have occurred, so you really should be grateful that you spared the experience. But Katharine, this isn't what I mean to say. Dearest Katharine, what concerns me even more than your apparent guilt over this death is the fact that you appear to be obsessed with death. Friends have told me that you've been plagued by nightmares where you envision relatives and dear contacts being consumed by raging fires or in floods. Your parents

Despite the challenges involved, identifying opportunities to improve pain management has become the focus of accrediting agencies such as the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations in recent years, but studies confirm that much remains to be done to achieve substantive improvements in this area.
