hi helen and leonie.
well said leonie. we are / were shit scared at diagnosis and most people do not know how to deal with it, so they probably just kept their distance.
life goes on, and there are always things to deal with. i am sorry to hear your husband's father is very unwell. it must put a lot of strain on you all at this time.
helen ,glad you voiced you would have appreciated a card; maybe people will learn from your comment.
i used to cry at things sometimes. it would just creep up on me and i would weep. let the tears flow and express what you feel. it is ok to feel the way you do, and no you are not a cow.
i have also learnt to try and " accept what is" since my diagnosis.
be kind to yourselves. you have been through a lot as an individual, and as a family. and it looks like it is not over yet. do something nice if you can, a picnic or an evening out, or whatever you enjoy.
love Kathy.
