I've been unsure how to touch my elderly cousin when I'm leaving after visiting him in the nursing home. On the one hand, I figure a human touch can be a healing sensation, but on the other hand I'm acutely aware that he has lived alone his whole adult life and has probably experience very little touching during that time. Lately I've been very forward and have given him a quick pat on the top of his shoulder as I say goodbye.
