Sonia,

I’m sure that was painful. Good for you for respecting your son’s wishes!

When they go all “injured animal,” it’s a great time to help practically by sending a meal, flowers, a fruit basket, or something else that lets them know you care. (See #7 above)

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

When mine are in crisis they remind me of injured animals. They want to crawl into a hole and be left alone. Example after one had emergency open heart surgery, I was asked not to come, even though we have always been on good terms!
Painful!!
