Why do you feel you need to be strong? I mean , is your daughter, this is not an easy situation. I have something I like to share with you. Mi father died 5 years ago with a quite advance Alzheimer’s. He never showed vulnerable in front of us , in our home we never talked about our feelings about what was happening and I think I safe all those feelings … I never shared with anyone how devastated I was. I was diagnosed with stage 1 BC last year and I’m talking with my therapist because all those feelings are coming to the surface now. I take the courage and talk with my mother last week about this … I cried like a baby and felt so relieved. Now I begin to stitch up that old wound that was still open. It never went away. So , what I’m trying to say is , I’m not hiding my feelings anymore and that’s the way I’m rewriting my story in the present . I wish my dad had allowed himself to be vulnerable.
