Re: illness in the family

(Anonymous) 2012-10-25 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know anything about this, really, but it seems to me with these things that there's never a right thing you even could say. When someone is going through something like this, an illness or a death or what-have-you, there's no right words to say to make it all okay. I don't know. Maybe someone else has found the right words, but I never have.

I think what's important is that you make sure she knows that you care about her, that you feel pain because of what she's going through, and that she knows you're there for whatever she needs - and that you listen to what she's saying and do what you can. But, lord, I'm at a loss to think of a time when I had the right words to deal with someone getting sick or dying. I guess the only way to cope with it is just by living through it as best you can, and by helping your mother to do that.

I'm sorry your mother is going through that. It's really terrible, I can't even imagine what that must be like.
