[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 2080625, member: 41885"] Its not self pity. Its a normal reaction to a life altering diagnosis. Give yourself time to react, reflect and get used to the idea. This modern way of feeling like we have to move on within hours of a major life event is not good or healthy for us long term. Give yourself time to go through the grieving process. Be kind to yourself and your feelings. Its not a competition to be the most stoic, or deny the impact such diagnosis can have on us. Its called being human. Yes, there are those who are worse off than us, but right now, its a lot to take in and deal with. Recognizing you are going through a grieving process, and its OK to go through it, and its not self pity or disproportionate to feel like your world has shifted, is part of the path to acceptance and moving on. Best wishes to you. [/QUOTE]
