I am in a somewhat different position than most of you, but I will throw out this idea just the same. Perhaps we should all see to it that family members or friends have instructions in place to contact this site in the event the member is hospitalized or otherwise unable to post and let us all know what's going on. I know that I was personally affected by the lack of contact with Sherry after she e-mailed me privately some time ago. It was very painful wondering what was going on with her, and not being able to offer any support in what I feared were her most desperate days.

This is just a thought, and I don't want anyone to feel pressured to do so on my account. I simply feel that we might better be able to offer comfort to the member or her family if we have some way of getting in touch.
