A sympathetic ear, redux...

[TOhioLiberal]

As I posted last week, in I need a sympathetic ear......tomorrow we get to hear what the Doctor has to say...I don't want to know what she'll say. But I still have to deal with it.

He's acting like it's no big deal, at least outwardly. Am I overreacting?

1. ...

...apparently nobody cares.

2. I care. I'm sorry your friend is sick and that you are hurting.

4. I just now saw this thread.

I have a good ear, my friend.

PM or e-mail, K.

Your Tucson friend.

3. My dear TOhioLiberal...

Hey, sweetie........

I don't think you're over-reacting........

I think your husband is under-reacting.......

Hang in there, and good luck tomorrow........

5. You are not overreacting at all.

It seems to me that everybody deals with grief and stress and fear differently. He might not know how to deal any other way than to play Cleopatra and exist happily in denial. It sounds like it's not going to be pleasant to deal with him, no matter what the news, so if it were me I'd just deal with your own feelings and try to help your friend as much as you're able.

I'm so sorry to hear all this. Please update tomorrow.

6. Just saw the thread

...been busy tending another one. Please know that I and others care. You're not overreacting. He may be feeling things more deeply than you know and is trying to be "the rock." (I specialize in this behavior. Sometimes it's appreciated by the missus, other times it's not.) But do know, that we do care, and are listening.
