The in-between life and death cancer

It is a gift to feel understood and validated. Thank you for sharing so openly in this forum. I now think of my life as BC (before cancer) and after. My BC life had no clue. And despite having the support of a wonderful family and friends, I learned early on that sharing with them only brought them sadness that ricocheted right back to me. That’s when I started with a therapist and I am glad that I did.
I mostly sleep better these days, but not always. I’ll think of you at 2am. 🩵

@ffr It really is a gift to feel understood here. Thank you for saying it out loud.
I use BC and AC in my head too. My BC self had no idea how much life could split in two like that. And I get what you mean about protecting family and friends. I learned the same thing fast their sadness would boomerang back and land on me, even when they were just trying to love me. I still haven’t called a therapist yet but I will 😉
I’m glad sleep is mostly better for you now. I know those 2am nights though. If you’re up, know I’m probably awake somewhere too, thinking of you right back. 🩵
Thank you for being one of the people who gets it.
