Understand your grief and determination to champion this issue. We have seen similiar treatment in hospitals in our family life, while we resorted to a feeling of helplessness or "how could we make a difference". Also we felt we would be dragging the proverbial horse through the mud. Best of luck in your endeavour. Your Grandmother was clearly a great person.
