Elaine-We are having a lot of the same thoughts, I see. I thank you for posting this discussion...I have pm'd a couple bmoms on the board looking for the same answers.

What should I never do. How can I help her through this time.

One thing that kept coming up as an answer to this question was "Always keep your word."

And Brandy, I've said it many times before, and surely will many times in the future--I appreciate your insight and your truth. Thank you.
