Subject: question 4

I would first of all tell her that she had no control over herself having the gene and her sister not having it. It is completely random and it could have been the completely opposite. I understand why Sherry would feel isolated and remote. She's feels all alone because the only person that knows what she might have to go through will not have to go through it with her. She always thought that Lani and she would work through it together, now she must accept that Lani will have to just support her from the sidelines. Even though Sherry at this point probably understands how genes are passed on, I would explain it to her further, and hopefully I would be able to make it clear to her that it was just by chance that she got the gene and Lani didn't. I would also try to tell her that I am positive that Lani will always be there for her, and she probably feels horrible right now too.
