Hi all:
I've been emailing Sandy daily the past couple of weeks. She tried to OD a couple of times, but didn't succeed. She did try again, cutting her wrists, last night. She is safely in the ER and doing okay. I spoke to her son and her Mom this morning. I couldn't stand not knowing what was going on. Since she'd given me her last name and I knew approx. where she lives in Halifax, I was able to get her phone number pretty easily!Anyway, they are waiting for a bed to open up in a local psychiatric hospital. Her family is hoping she will stay there long enough to get some longer lasting help and find some meds that work. She's a very proud, independent person and very ashamed of her situation & I'm sure would hate to know I've told everyone what happened. I say, "There but for the grace of God could go I!" We all need help some time in our lives, nothing to be ashamed of, and I hope she gets it. I hope she'll forgive me for sharing, but prayers are needed for her now :-). I'll keep you posted.
~ Lynne
