Re: Messed up emotionally
It's human nature to feel what you do. Just as it is for your friend to feel as she does. It is unfortunate she verbalized it as she did!
I remember when I was first diagnosed feeling "so I'm going to be the 'friend with cancer' the first one in my circle to get it". I felt a little isolated for awhile. Like a leper. But it passed when I realized that no one is immune from catastrophe It was just my turn. The cards I was dealt. I found kindred spirits here on this Board. And knew my situation was not so abnormal at all!
Keep the faith
