being thin

wenttosee her today, scary to see how thin she is, she longs for help and it is not available in her town, she has sent her kids away. The kids are scared she will die of starvation and so am I. The crisis team come to see her from time to time and tell her that they can treat the eating disorder but cannot live her life, she must do that.........."what is the point of all this suffering she asked?" I left her to some home and feel scared that I have to leave her alone, alone and alone. She shed some tears and said some fine words that are the rights words, but there is something amiss........some unnamed longing.
