Hi Ad Lib, one thing we have all learned is that you can't carry the weight of other people's reactions. You have so much on your heart and on your mind, you are not responsible for the way other people behave. Give them some space, give them some time and continue to treat them with love and respect. You're head is still spinning from what you have found out. When you think about it, the only difference between now and a few short weeks ago is that now you know your diagnosis. Knowledge is power, you can deal with this, you will deal with this, just remember to be kind to yourself and not take on more than you need to cope with. I am so sorry for your heavy heart this Christmas, know that we are here for you as you work through it all. Sending you love and an extra special warm Christmas hug, Tracey xx
