Dear Alex,

Thank you very much for your advice about sertraline versus personal attention. I've been able to calm Margaret with expressions of affection and have been able to avoid medication.

At 12:30 p.m. Margaret had 6 oz. of whole milk, 3 oz.of yogurt, wanted nothing more and is now moaning lightly apparently on the threshold of sleep. She seems depressed but is not visibly or audibly anxious.

At 2 p.m. she had 8 oz. more milk, and at 7 p.m.  another 6 oz. in addition to about 4 oz. of yogurt.

I'm reminded of Winslow Homers paintings of lonely desperate fishermen in small open boats helplessly tossed by the gales of a storm on the open sea.

Love, Jochen
