June and I talk all the time. I may ask a question that starts a conversation or she will have a comment about an emotion that triggers a talk.
We know that cancer is individual to people suffering from it but they come together in validation. I love the look on June’s face when she chats with someone in the waiting room or infusion center who has a similar concern or symptom. She walks away a little taller and, ah, understood.
We read books, we blog, we talk, but I’m an outsider when it comes to validation. She has to get that from those who truly have walked in her shoes.
And that’s not a bad thing, it’s just how it works.
I appreciate your posts Tracey! So much that I respond with heartfelt connection! Mary
