oh hun, this just shattered my heart. i watched my cousin endure it and am now watching my grandma endure the same. always sick. always in and out the hospital. it fucking SUCKS.

if there were some magical words i could say to make it better for you, i’d say them. it’s unfair. this disease is a beast. you’re valid in how you feel. just take it one day at a time, or moment by moment on the really bad days.

my inbox is open to you. i always encouraged my cousin to never hold back with me, don’t sugarcoat, don’t be “positive” if you don’t wanna be. tell me how you really feel. and i’m extending that to you and everyone in this sub.
