> And as Dinah pointed out, I forgot the most important thing, try to stay connected to your loved ones. I found this to be difficult as we all had suffered recent losses and I didn't want to lean on people who needed to lean on someone themselves. But thats unusual. Stay in touch with family, hopefully you are lucky and they are close by. If not, a phone call away.
JadeKelly,
I understand that feeling of not wanting to burden others with trouble of their own very well. But in retrospect I think it has helped even to be the one giving the support to others. At the time it doesn't feel that way but while it wasn't enjoyable to be trying to offer support when I was desperate myself I think it was better than the times I isolated myself.jane
