Coping

I finally got a call from one of the housemate's sisters this morning- apparently they were not even notified until today! It's a big relief to know that they have her will and are planning to fly out and help us with cleaning out her stuff. In the past few years she'd turned into kind of a hoarder so it's not going to be easy. Also, the ( Read more... )

I'd be bloody furious, in the same way as I might be when having a serious fight with a loved one. >:(

All of you are showing her great forgiveness and love by doing all this work on her behalf. Look after yourselves and each other as well. And put a rocket under Kaiser.

I did call and speak with her therapist which did very little other than make me more frustrated. I did tell her that I felt Kaiser really failed her, especially when they did not keep her for even 48 hours when she threatened to do this back in late January/early February. If they had committed her for a longer term, I think they might have been able to help her.

She won't be the only patient they've failed, either - and they failed you and her loved ones as well. >:(

You may want to put your frustration in writing and send it to the therapist, to Kaiser, to the APA (to the local paper, to the President, etc).

Yeah, I am thinking about writing some letters, for all the good it will do. :/

I'm glad her sister's coming out and has the will etc. But they only just notified her after you'd passed on the phone numbers? *sigh ( ... )

Apparently they like do notifications in person, not on the phone, though I still think they should have done it Sunday. I did call and speak with her therapist which did very little other than make me more frustrated. I did tell her that I felt Kaiser really failed her, especially when they did not keep her for even 48 hours when she threatened to do this back in late January/early February. If they had committed her for a longer term, I think they might have been able to help her. a letter may be a good idea - one to Kaiser and CC the politicos. Thank you so much for your willingness to help, even if it isn't financially an option.
