Send to a Friend
How can I be compassionate while going through a crisis?
My mom is in hospice and will pass anytime. She has a lot of friends texting or messaging daily for updates. She is an extrovert who never met a stranger and was very active in our community and her church.
The issue is that I’m a more private person, introvert, and I find myself being irritated by the constant questions from virtual strangers. I say the same thing over and over, she’s declining more daily.
She is not going to get better so I’m not sure what can I say or do for her friends? I realize that’s their way of showing support but I have to compartmentalize to get through this. My family says to just be gracious, but after a month, I’m struggling to stay patient and kind.
Advice, especially from other loners, is appreciated.
