Hi all Abbers!
It's good to hear everyone feeling so strong.
I got some sad news today; I had lunch with a friend, and she told me that a fellow colleague that we both know has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She thought I already knew, so she just started talking about it, but I just burst into tears. This man has not been a close friend per se, but he has been a teacher, supporter, and mentor to me over the years. I felt I could tell him anything, including any mistakes or bumbles I made. I am just sick about it. :upset: As you may guess, the outlook isn't good.
It doesn't make me want to drink though. I have no wish to hide from my sorrow, well, at least not a great wish. Not enough to drink, anyway. I think I'll be scheduling an extra appt. with my therapist, who also knows him.
Sometimes, life sucks, ya know?
Hugs to all of you.
