One possibility is that she sounds like she has always been strong and in control of her life. It could be that she’s feeling so frustrated and angry at not being able to cope by her own strength, she may lash out especially to those closest to her. Advice don’t overwhelm her hoping you’ll receive the feelings you want. Her world has been turned upside down she is reavaluating her life and relationships. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I think you are on target here. It is like a primitive reaction to the threat of what has attacked her. I don't want to do anything but credit however the heck she is surviving at all, for I know many who would have given up in light of things I haven't even begun to describe here that keep me in tears sometimes. So thank you. It's just nice to know that I matter too, and I can't feel guilty for claiming my own support where offered, for it has certainly been needed.
