This is so helpful. Yes to the grief, the anger, the helplessness and jealousy.

This is so helpful and well-articulated, Serena. I think I could find myself in many of these emotions and responses when our youngest son went through four surgeries in seven months for a brain tumor that turned out to be non-cancerous but left him permanently scarred and facing new medical diagnoses that he had not had before.

Oh wow, Elizabeth - four surgeries in seven months for a brain tumor! And permanent scarring. Sounds so hard. Thanks for sharing a bit of your story. And yes, all these emotions would make sense that too! Glad to walk with you in these challenging journeys!
