You had the interest to contact her, and to see how she was. That counts for something. You got in contact with her and even though she didn't want to see anyone, that counts too. Sometimes you just can't help or change anything and it fucking sucks.<br />I think there is a lesson here for us, maybe more so for women... When we are very ill, and feel no one would ever want to see us... we feel we are sparing the other person the horrors of having to look upon us and of being in proximity to our illness. It is very difficult to realize, in those times that when we turn others away, we are turning away the gift the other wants to give. Love, connection, and to maybe make us laugh again.Elle Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065066582460624344noreply@blogger.com
