I'm Just not ready...
I'm not ready to hear the word 'cancer', especially when it relates directly to one of my very close friends. I don't know how to handle this. I couldn't have done anything to prevent it, I can't personally do anything to stop it. All I can do is try and balance being there for them, and being there for my family, and pray for them...and I can thank God for my family.
5 stages of Acceptance
The stages are:
Denial:
Example - "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me!"
Anger:
Example - "Why me? It's not fair!" "NO! NO! How can you accept this!"
Bargaining:
Example - "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything, can't you stretch it out? A few more years."
Depression:
Example - "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die . . . What's the point?"
Acceptance:
Example - "It's going to be OK."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."
I think that I personally skip denial. Or, maybe I just do it really quickly...and skip right to Anger. After all that's what I'm good at right?
FUCK.
