Gita,

I had some of what your sister is experiencing. Part of this is normal for the disease. I felt so defective and so alone because I had "cancer" that I didn't want to be in with other people telling me everything would be alright when they had no idea if everything would be alright.

I know it's scary for you to see her so out of character, but this is something many never have to deal with. Part of the grieving process is withdrawal. I'm not real sure of how long to give her before she is pushed into different forms of therapy. I tried one anti-depressant and it kept me up at night. I took myself off of it and then began to see light at the end of the tunnel. I still have my days, but they are just days now and not weeks.

I hope that helps. God Bless the caregiver!
