Shit, David.  I am so sorry to hear about your friend Jenny's illness.  That completely sucks.  If it seems like she is shutting you out just now, try not to take it personally.  It is so hard sometimes to be vulnerable with people, even when you know, intellectually, that they just want to help.  I know I would hate to be ill, especially gravely, and feel like the object of other people's sympathy or charity.  Give her a bit of time - I'll bet she comes around.  Hang in there.

((((David))))

Some of my friends call Jenny my 'fag hag". I've always hated that term! How offensive! It's not offensive towards gay people, I don't think (even though it uses that disgusting "F" word) but I think it's offensive of women. Hag? Women are not hags I don't think. Anyway, I digress....

She won't take my phone calls. She won't answer my email. I've left dozens of messages to no avail. I've drove my car from Indianapolis to Carmel (she lives in Carmel) several tmes and banged on her front door. She won't open it up. She's home, I know this because I can see her car through the crack of her garage door. She just doesn't want to talk right now. I'll respect it. But I worry about my friend. I sure do hope she's okay. My Mother died of leukemia in 2003, and this is scaring the hell out of me! But I think I know Jenny, and she just needs some time to think and process the information. And she has a couple of friends with her. I just wish I was one of them.  :'( :'(

oh David...you are getting it from all sides these days aren't you?

 :-\ :-\ :-\

Please dont' take it too personally. She is probably just in such a hard place emotionally that she doent' know what to think or do. All you can do really is let her know you are there and that you are her friend. It may not seem like you are doing anything but just by doing that you ARE giving her some comfort. I know when I am going thru hard times I pull away from people....and I have a very few dear friends that let me have space but still call just to say hi..it means a lot to me and I bet it will mean a lot to her.
