These words are penned for my sister-in-law who is going thru some tough times at the moment..


She hears voices
Telling her to go
She sees people
That she doesn’t know
She knows she’s beautiful
They know she’s smart
She needs to get better
She wants to do more art
Her family are worried
They see her filled with doubt
But they can’t do a thing
Until she says “I need help”

Get well soon Suzanne…


Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

Poignant write, Roniece.
I hope your sister-in-law has someone helping her
to find her way through the maze. Be strong and supportive, that's all you can do.

She wants to do more art


I hope, dear Roniece, that your sister in law will be helped to accomplish this desire.
It will uplift her more than any other treatment I think.
This is a very sensitive outcry of your heart.
Love,
Margherita

Hugs Gal,
This is one of the toughest places to be...on the inside circle, watching someone that you love suffer in silence.
Hang in there.

This is such a sensitive subject--an illness which is too off maligned as a character flaw.

She is so fortunate to have you in understanding, Roniece.

My heart goes out to you and yours.

They have to take the first step in any
struggle....and a good circle of support
goes a long way.  Praying for all of you.

Roniece.......A sensitive loved one knows, as much as they want to help, they can't until the need is admitted. I wish you both well.

Roniece,

What a loveing poem to Suzanne.  I wish her the best - and I hope she reads this some day.  

You are a lovely woman and I am so thrilled to call you "friend" too.

Love,
Alison
