Let's face it, you see them everyday. It became depressing for her knowing the folks will pass on at any given moment.

Par for the course.....unfortunately.

The people who work in nursing homes and hospice have my respect. That can not be a fun place to work. Often there is only one outcome and that can be depressing when you become close to a resident or patient.
