The same disease that took my first daughter is now working its magic on my youngest. She had had a period of extreme illness, but for about a year, was reasonably stable.
However, over the last 6 months, she has lost her ability to swallow, has uncontrollable seizures, is developing dementia (at age 8)... basically, things aren't looking great right now. She goes in for another MRI next week to find out if she has had another stroke.
Recently, I have herd the following:
At least you had one decent year
You survived losing DD1
You can handle it
She's fine, you're overly concerned
You were lucky to have her while you did (ummm, she's not gone yet)
and all sorts of other shite. I honestly wonder if I were to turn some of these comments back on the people who said them, would they even realise what they are saying?
But to turn this toward a more positive note, is there anything positive that people could say/offer instead?
Aside, of course, from "if you need anything, just let me know"
That one is more made up than the tooth fairy...
