| ..as I don't know your family well. When my best girlfriend of 30 years was diagnosed with something potentially deadly and explained that she was not sure if she even would TRY living with it, that was a shock. But we do talk a lot, and in depth, about religious matters, too. We managed to lay it all on the table. My not wanting to be without her, her panic of suffering and an uncertain outcome... If you are able to be honest with each other - why not tell her all that is on your mind? Including, as Control said, thanks for sharing so many years with you, but also your fears and doubts. No use playing cheerful if everyone is scared. And being honest can bring people closer - it is never too late for a start. |
