[quote=Anonymous][quote]One of the loneliest things about serious illness is suddenly realizing how little you have in common any more with people who are healthy. They’re planning for things like vacations, college, retirement, home renovations, etc. while you’re worrying whether insurance will cover your next surgery, feeling guilty for buying clothes you may not be around to wear, and wondering if you’ll ever see your kids graduate or be healthy enough to travel again.[/quote] Former caregiver here, my husband recently passed away. I just wanted to say you described this so eloquently. This is how I always felt and I know how he felt. To the OP - we had some of people ghost us. I was too busy and stressed to care. But I'm sure they also want to meet up more often (we had to cancel frequently) and also they may want to talk about their "normal lives" and not feel bad about it. [/quote]
