 Dear Me,

The only REAL thing you can do is pray for her. Pray for her to find peace, to be able to forgive herself and to heal emotionally, mentally and physically. It's good that you want to help her, but if she's in a psychiatric hospital four hours away, your hands are really tied. Be supportive, calling her is good - so she knows you care and love her. Honestly, I have seen prayer do amazing things. If you have a church, ask them to all pray and talk to your pastor/priest about it. That's the best advice I have to offer.

Thank you both so much for your kind replies. My sister has come home from hospital but is desperately sad and I fear for her life. Her husband is home with her and I'm going to visit this weekend.

It's so depressing just for me to talk to her. Constant sobbing is heart breaking! I try to call her every day so it's nice that you both think thats good. I'm wondering what to do with her when I'm there ... thinking getting out of the house could be good? Movies, a walk in the park, shopping for a bit of a wish list for their baby ... now both my sister and her husband both have to be home money is extremely tight which of course adds to the pressure.

My sister is 17 weeks pregnant this week.

Getting out of the house is always a good thing (IMHO). With Thanksgiving coming up, it may also be good to volunteer at a soup kitchen - or a church function that is doing some sort of outreach for folks in need. It's sometimes very good to see that you aren't the only one in need of something.

Kris,

I don't know what's wrong with voy, but it just plain won't let me post to me. Please pass this on to her.

Let your sister lead the way. Make suggestions of things you can do, and let her decide. Give her lots of hugs. It is so good she will be with you!

Have her check with her doctor to make sure that any medical needs are taken care of.

Me, please keep in touch. You are all in our prayers.
