Betty Jean,
You are not being selfish and it is very, very scary when it all begins. If you would like to send me a private message I will be happy to answer any questions you may have as a family member and from my point of view. I saw my mom start to go into depression but now I am happy to report that she is coming around and is almost back to her old self.
Feel free to ask anything you like.
Take Care,
Dani
