Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Hi - as a newly welcomed member of the club no one wants to join, I can tell you the best thing for me was people keeping things normal - not the pity me stuff - they did listen and wanted to hear what i had to say, however, they also kept me informed on thier kids, thier lives, thier work, my work, etc. Just knowing that the world really did not stop turning was a huge boost, as well as being made a part of the " normal " world outside my own spinning head. Hope that this helps and best of luck to you! Sharon in Vegas > > I am New member to this group I've joined to gain the knowledge of > those who are dealing and living with breastcancer .

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Hi , You're right on the money! Listening and being a shoulder does go a long way towards support of someone who has B/C! It sometimes feel like there is nobody that really understands how I'm feeling or what I'm going through, EXCEPT someone else who is going through or has been through B/C. Although, I have several friends who seem to be both comforting and supporting at the " right time " . Sometimes, we need to feel sad for ourselves, " why me " and others, we're strong and fighting women who say " why not me " . There is a balance but at times I'm way off balance in my life and how to proceed with it. It's very complex, and I applaud you for coming to a place where you can learn more to become more supportive. We all need friends like you, . Thank you for joining.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Welcome I couldn't agree more with Sharon. There's nothing worse than an " oh poor you " attitude from someone. Talking about normal stuff is a such a comfort. Only thing I might add is try not to be bothered by your loved ones tears. My emotions tend roll over me in waves. A smile and gentle hug go a very long way to making me feel better. And if you get sniffly to, thats ok. I'm pretty new to the group (joined in Oct) so I dont post much but I read every message. Its big moral boaster for me. Kathleen > > > > I am New member to this group I've joined to gain the knowledge of > > those who are dealing and living with breastcancer .

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks . She is a very special lady and I just wish I was closer so that I could do something/anything that seems more tangible - even if it was making good old chicken soup every now and again Hugs June June Hayles Great Dane Rehoming & Rescue Your free 'click' can help find a cure for breast cancer.
