During a support group, a patient diagnosed with schizophrenia says, Sometimes I feel sad that I will never have a good job like my brother. Then I dwell on it and maybe I should not. Select the nurse leaders best comment to facilitate discussion of this issue.

Focusing on other feelings will derail discussion of the patients grief for his perceived lost potential.
