internalizing thoughts ..... time alone .... tenderness .... pulling back .... touching ...
each of us here over the past few days have handled our shock & fear & sadness ..... in our own way. Some of us have had more experience with it than others. We may recognize the differences faster or sooner - but it doesn't make any of it easier! Some may physically feel it differently than others. Some are there for support of others. Some need more support. All of us want to wake up and find out it's been a really bad dream. All of us .... want this to be as painless as possible. All of us ..... know that it wouldn't matter which of us this was happening to ... because we would still experience these feelings. There is no magic pill to take the hurt from any of us. The "for better or worse" invades the heart of all of us in some way or another. This is what we sign up for when we are part of a family. The potentiality of where we are now. So however we each cope with mom's prognosis, I'm sure we will also find ways to support each other (& ourselves). The mental & emotional bandaids may be different for each of us ... but we know it is all based on love.
