Yes, I agree that just staying in touch means a lot. I don’t feel like having company or going out, but a quick text or email is helpful for me. Some of my friends understand that. Others seemed offended that I did not want them to “help” me in the way they wanted to help. “Let’s go for a drive.” or “I’ll come over to talk.”
I can’t really do that now, and though I’ve explained why, some people don’t “get it”, and prefer to move on.
They wanted the help to be on their terms and so sometimes you just have to let them go.
If I ever get well, I doubt I will try to pick up these relationships.
I have a few people that understand, and keep in touch the best we can. That helps me the most.
