scottsdad Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 My wife is having a real hard time just now. Her mum went into hospital last week with a diabetes-related illness . Her foot was in danger of needing amputated. My wife is estranged from her mum - she sends a card for her birthday and christmas, but they never speak. Yesterday her sister called her - things have gotten serious. We went to the hospital and were told that an infection entered the ulcers on her leg, and is now in her blood. She is not expected to survive. This is messing with my wife quite a bit - she went to the hospital to support her sister and her daughter, both of whom are quite distraught. But she didn't go to "say goodbye" as everyone seems to expect. Aunties and uncles all showing up offering my wife sympathy, and she really feels like she doesn't need it. Oh...and her dad - whom she has had no contact with for years - is also in hospital. She's really wrestling with the three big things of - what she feels, what she is "supposed" to feel, and how to support others who are affected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's really wrestling with the three big things of - what she feels, what she is "supposed" to feel, and how to support others who are affected. Horrible situation to be presented with. There is entirely too much of judging the behavior of people based upon what they “should” feel or do, without any knowledge of why they might not. The best strategy is probably to take the condolences in the manner intended and thank those people who don’t understand or accept the underlying dynamic, and then use you (if possible) or someone else who understands better to run interference if the person(s) start picking for an “appropriate” response. -What she feels is what she feels, no one has the right to judge her for that, as it’s knowledge gained over a number of years and experiences. -What she is supposed to feel is a societal construct with no relationship to her situation and she can simply discard it. She can accept the sympathy as an expression of support for her and then help direct those offering the support toward those more in need of it. Perhaps if she can consider the sympathy offered as a societal equivalent of saying “How do you do?”, that it’s the polite thing for these people to do, and they wouldn’t know how to react otherwise, she can accept it without it causing her stress. -Supporting others is tricky, but the key is to be as empathetic as possible with others, because (as she clearly knows) their experiences with her mother are different then hers. She can reach out, and help comfort them, without feeling guilty exactly because everyone has differing experiences. If they move to questioning why she isn’t behaving in some prescribed manner, she should feel no shame or guilt for moving away from them to engage with others or, more importantly, take a break as they are trying to co-opt her to make themselves feel better…or possibly superior? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
