Hi Kat55
Sorry - yes, you are both perfectly normal - not exactly the most helpful answer perhaps but then I ended up doing a living with less stress course before I got there.
If we look at Supporting a family member with cancer and especially the "your feelings" section we can see typical issues.
I do like it where you mention talking - lots of stuff in Talking about cancer that can be very helpful. When I "came out" as a cancer carer at work I found lots of others who had never opened up to anyone else about their own scares and scars - we know cancer is very common but so many people never mention it.
<<hugs>>

Thanks Steve having held back my feelings for such a long time as I didnt think it was fair and wondering if they were normal. I am coming to appreciate that my feelings are equally as worthy, and with honest but good choice of words, and through my talking, it encourages my husband to open up and I can hear his perspective.
Thank you
