Thank you so much Snugs. I appreciate it. But I don’t want this thread to turn into a big sympathy fest.
I find it hard to discuss. I can mention it, but that’s just about all I can handle so far. Yet it’s helpful to talk about it just a bit.
So if you all don’t mind, I’d be glad to just assume your kind thoughts and care and let someone else have their turn.
The most helpful thing anyone did for me was to come over and sit beside me and just put her arm around me without talking.
The least helpful were two ladies from church, one talked baby talk to me every time she saw me, for two months. The other, every damn time she saw me (sorry, i get upset just thinking about it) She would say “awww, it’s so sad” in her “let’s be mournful” tone. I’m sorry, but one day she said it yet AGAIN and i said “yes, i KNOW” I just couldn’t stop it from coming out.
