Inconsolable

[lilmissnever]

J calls me "inconsolable," not because I'm in hysterics or anything like that, but because there is nothing that can be said that might make me feel better. I do not respond to "everything is going to be okay," or "it will work out all right," when it is really not okay at all and it may very well get worse. I am not comforted by empty reassuring

If I could get you Dr. Gregory House by any act of will imaginable, I would do whatever was necessary. love, yr Sooz

Hell, if I could get you Dr Cox and John Dorian, I would do that, too.

I am still hoping that there is some way that I can help my father that involves hitting things. I would like to hit things very much.

If only hitting our enemies could cure our friends and family.

I hope tomorrow turns up better answers than today.

Also, the fact that your posting demeanor continues unshaken is impressive.

Dealing with a sick parent is pretty much the worst thing ever and it's so hard to know how to behave around them. When I found out my dad had an inoperable malignant tumor the size of a grapefruit wrapped around his vena cava, my response was "you should try to make it REALLY BIG and launch it out of your stomach, like in Alien!" (In case you were curious, this is the wrong thing to say, even to a family member who delights in macabre humor.)

As you know, I am here for you in any way you need. I have been there, and it is a terrible thing to go through alone.

I doubt I can do much being so far away, but having been through similar things myself if there is anything I can do let me know.

:( I'm so sorry.
