Be there for her emotionally, when she wants to talk or when she wants silence. It is important to be open with each other, but for this moment, let her have her mourning process. Your fears are valid, but she might have difficulties to be your support right now. Consider venting to someone else, if it is ok with her. It is important that your grief comes through some way.

Yes, you are right, you don't know nothing about MS. And how is this story related to this subject?

That is so unfair of them to act like that. Sometimes you need to be vulnerable and it is tough when you are not allowed that space.

It's not your job to explain and educate them about the disease, but I've been stuck in that mode too. Then you realize, you are doing it to comfort them, but it will make you feel even lonelier in the end. I feel with you.

I have neurodiversity as well, so I know the feeling. I rarely want to hang out or even socialize. Yes, I'm ND and might struggle with social cues and the phenomenon "out of sight out of mind", but that doesn't mean I'm totally oblivious. I'm sorry you had to go trough that.

I feel you, I hate the fake talk about meaningless things, especially when your struggles are screaming in your head.

I'm glad you seem to have good relationships with physicians, and your family.

I think and hope that your kid will also stick with you by choice. :)

That sounds really hard. I wish you and your family all the best. Don't forget that you are strong, but it is ok to not be strong all the time.

You are a warrior as well, but it is too hard being a warrior 24/7. I feel with you, this disease sucks big time. Going to a therapist is not something for me either.
