Sometimes it isn’t enough to know about cancer. We have to understand the ever changing emotion the cancer victim suffers. No day is the same as the previous.
I think people get desensitized to the emotion of cancer. Just because today is a good day for June, doesn’t mean that tomorrow she won’t feel fatigued, angry, or done. Just because she feels done today doesn’t mean she won’t be full of life and laughter tomorrow.
As a caregiver, I need best support her by being where she is, wherever that is! I am constantly determining what her emotion is and either supporting it, encouraging something different, or just listening.
Be all you can be, I guess!
