Debza,
I have to agree, when you are the one who is always strong, people don't tend to know what to do with you. Honestly, this 2nd time recurrence I had a few friends that were supportive. I also lost a few lifelong friends sadly as I got sick of being an after thought. I actually had not one person bring me a meal, which astounded me. People would offer to help, but unless I had someone who was willing to run my kids around, and come cook a meal, it was tough going. I was actually disappointed in alot of people and realised they just cant understand what youre going through. My Mum passed 7yrs ago and I have no sisters. Cant even really talk to anyone related or friends about this journey, they dont get it, and why would they? Thats why it helps with people traveling this same path. Its made me so incredibly mindful of anyone close to go through this, I know how I can help them.
