The meds were dampening her ability to feel and therefore her ability to heal. She needed to experience the grief.
The doctor practices empathic therapy. The idea is to have a team working together which may included family members (I have no family or friends that could get involved.) if your lucky enough you might find a member in your area.

THAT was a good call by the shrink , he sussed it wasn't meds she needed, but you lucky to get a call in the day never mind at night by a shrink. all some people need is some time out , ie holiday , a week on the beer only a week before I get letters just to forget your problems , these are the people I post about that don't need meds, but unfortunatly not many shrink have time to look that deep and the person is on the med go round to pain.
