After Andrew received
that new diagnosis, he did not want us to talk about it. We respected that and
never told anyone.
I assumed he told Marnie and Eileen but it turns out he
never did. In the last six months of his life, when he was living with Eileen
and Rich, he was telling them what was happening at work and they thought that
what Andrew was describing were his real experiences. They had no idea that he
was describing his delusions.
Rich and Eileen were
trying to coach him on how to handle tough bosses. Of course, to Andrew it was
what was happening to him, it was real.
He often told me he learned a lot from
Rich and Eileen. They took him at his word because they had no other frame of
reference.
Andrew felt like he was heard by Rich and Eileen
