It's really hard knowing what the best thing to do is in a situation like this. Betty keeps reminding me of the importance of my own recovery, the importance of getting more in contact with my inner voice, because that source is the only real hope I have of finding some answers that really help. It's ironic that - in wishing I could find an answer that would really help Betty - that God answers my wish in a way that I don't expect, by reminding me that my example is the mostr powerfulthing I can give. If I really want to help Betty and others who are in the grips of disease processes that terrify them, I HAVE to be willing to let the pain of my helplessness teach me what I need, and hope I can find the courage to listen. I dunno if all, that makes much sense, but as much as Betty feels like she's worthless, she is helping me in powerful ways that she may never fully understand. Thanks Betty, and thank you too Josie and Claudia - and everyone else - for your examples.
