Hi Colleen,

I know how hard it is to see somone you love in that position. It is one of the most difficult things I had to deal with as well with my brother. It did take me a little bit to get used to all the caring procedures, but as Suzanne said, you need to continue to talk to her and make her feel like a person. She needs to see you because she needs to know you are ok too. She is worrying about her family just as much as you are worrying about her.

I know you will get over this, but hang in there.
