Screw that -- don't be sorry for expressing yourself. I have cried, stompted my feet, lost my composure -- over and over. It's okay to do that. I'm tired of people telling me that I'm lucky. They are not the ones who had to undergo what we have had to -- chemo, hair loss, losing our breasts, multiple surgeries, relationship strains, work issues, financial issues -- and on and on. So, for someone to say to me, "be thankful" -- it's okay for me not to be at times. Don't get me wrong -- I am grateful, and I do count my blessings, but there are days when I just need to be with myself and feel the pain. I hope you can allow yourself this luxury -- it truly is a luxory, because others will not like being around us if we wallow in our grief. I have to allow myself to feel unlucky -- then, I can feel lucky. Does this make sense? Bless you -- just had my reconstruction implant surgery, and I'm feeling well.
