@MikeFromLFE Thanks for the good wishes. My sister actually died a couple decades ago now, but not from the #schizophrenia. She died suddenly from type 2 #diabetes -- that diabetes is nasty stuff! Anyway, she was actually treated pretty well by our community, so I have that to be thankful for. And I stay involved with #NAMI.

@MikeFromLFE My sister spent time in hospitals and group homes with schizophrenia, and over time I became her sole family contact. I would visit her once a week or so. Staff would sometimes remark on how nice it was that I came, and how many other families never visited -- that always surprised me, as I felt that my visits were completely ordinary. Anyway, I also always tried to pay attention to others during my visits. Then again I am a member of #NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).
