But she found she still needed time alone to grieve not only the death of her husband but also the end of their happy 26-year marriage.

Annu Goel, who is working in Lesotho with her husband, writes about a six-year-old boy who was brought to her at the most advanced stage of AIDS. "He was malnourished, had pneumonia, a big belly - he looked sick," she writes. "But mainly, what stands out is that he is sad. He is ALWAYS sad. One of the doctors here said she did not have a good feeling that he will make it. He has had side effects...
