Dear Hope,

These things happen among friends and family. It would be a good idea to know and have her doctor's number handy. If you had a good reason, you could then call him (her) to make sure your aunt is doing alright.

The second thing you can do (today even), is call her local police department, and ask them to check on her. Ask them to either have her call you, or make arrangements with the police to call you back. Either way you will have peace of mind within the same day.

Just explaining to them that she usually has contact with you and she has chosen to go off meds, so you are wanting to know if she is doing alright. Maybe you would not even have to explain the medication part. Just telling them you are worried about her as she has not called you as she normaly does might get them to check.

I hope this helps. This does work, as you are concerned for her safety.

It is best thou to have another number closer to her..if not the doctor then a neighbor or a close friend of hers.

Sorry to hear you are going thru this. There is nothing worse then worrying about someone, and not being able to call them.

Let us know how it works out for you.

Sincerely,
Colors
