Conflicted

How do you say goodbye to a year that has both blessed and cursed you? How do you welcome in a New Year with all the promise it brings while you live in fear of more health problems, and while you watch while people with your kind of cancer drop away

I don't think it's that it's over for them, I think it's the frustration of not being able to fix it for you that makes it seem like they're trying to hurry you through. Plus, I guess a lot of media has put forward the positive thinking angle, so they may be thinking of that as well and worried that you aren't looking forward but stuck in the cancer diagnosis.

I don't know, I'm just guessing as I tend to let someone work it out themselves but people who've lost partners or children also say similiar things as well. I think that you should let the person it happened to work through it on their own and if that means passing tissues for years, then...buy a big box of tissues.

I hope 2012 is year of peace & happiness for you Becca xx

PS. Parcel will be on way soon, we're just having a rough time at the moment
