Do you have someone in your life who, unfortunately, when you speak with them, makes you feel worse about your condition or your life in general? It's tough isn't it? Instead of providing support, encouragement, and a kind listening ear, their words just create anxiety, panic, and sorrow about the current conditions of your life. They have the good job, house, lots of money in the bank, no life-threatening health issues, and "retirement" looks pretty secure for them, while you are languishing, trying to survive cancer, and dealing with barely any money in the bank. I'm trying to see this as a good lesson for me on how NOT to interact with those struggling to survive in this world. People need calm, kindness, encouragement, not the opposite. I am a caregiver. Life is very tough now. I need prayers, encouragement, and hope, NOT panic and dread. Can you relate? If so, please feel free to share your story. Thanks, and, have a blessed day.
