Thanks for the replies and the good wishes for my sister. I haven't been able to get through to her yet today.

I was totally floored by her email to me this morning. It came out of nowhere. But after thinking about it a while I came to the same conclusions that you all have said to me. She's hurting and already depressed and needed a cheerleader rather than a rational answer. Even though she knows how I am she asked me some questions that she really didn't want the answer to. I guess I should have known that, but I don't know that I would answer any differently in the future. When I do get to speak to her sometime today I'll put the blame on me and try to get her to talk more about it.

She and I are so different. I forget that, despite how much I love her, we are almost from 2 different planets, and the communication gets garbled as it travels back and forth.
