Yes, I know what you mean.Some of the things people say they would do aren't very helpful at all.No one knows what you are going through, until they've been through it themselves. People do mean well I realize but don't know all the emotions etc. you are going through and how it effects you. I was given a doll from the cancer council that had 2 faces, one sad and one happy. I was told to put the sad face around when I wasn't up to talking or anything. Lucky I live on a property so I didn't have to many visitors, and my husband takes the calls. I just talk to the people now, that have gone through it or going through it, and ones that I know try and understand.
Don't feel guilty and feel you have let people down, because you haven't. It's a hard process to go through.It's also very hard for your husband, but they have no one to talk to most times.
Take care
