Farmergirl,

I am so sorry to hear that your sister is losing ground. I can just imagine how hard it must be to watch that happen. I'll bet it brings her great peace to have you by her side though. I really admire you for being there for her, even though it's difficult for you to witness her pain. So many people draw away from loved ones during a time like this, rather than staying close, because they can't deal with their own emotions about losing a loved one. You're sticking with her, despite your own pain. That's a real blessing for your sister. I hope you can find the support and comfort you need also during this difficult time.
