Stop hiding from me!

So, something I’m going to say… and maybe it will help everyone with any friends and family with cancer in the future…

We do not want to be any less of a friend to you because we’re sick. Your life and what’s going on in it is JUST as important as what we’re going through.

The number of times I keep hearing, “I didn’t tell you about it because you have enough going on”. Or. “I don’t want to complain to you, it’s nothing in comparison”

What I’m going through doesn’t “trump” anyone else’s struggles or bad days. I want to know what’s going on with you, too.

Unless you’re frustrated that your hair is getting too long. See another complaint department for that. 😂

But really. In all seriousness. Don’t hide your life or avoid seeking help or support or venting to me as a friend because of this. There’s a good chance you’ve been there for me at some point in my should-definitely-be-a-movie life, and probably continue to be, even in the simplest “thinking of you” way. So vent away! 💕

One thought on “Stop hiding from me!”

  1. Way to go Jen. Very proud of your post. I’m sure friends and family are well meaning, and don’t mean to “hide” from you. Now they have your feelings known and will let you in. Keep up the positive vibes.
