I agree with Mali that you don't have to necessarily respond to every single comment (which you may have done already anyway).Non Sequitur Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268138421234170972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-84016885907987235072017-07-05T19:17:30.700-07:002017-07-05T19:17:30.700-07:00We never made any public announcements about our s...We never made any public announcements about our status (and Facebook wasn't around back then anyway -- thank goodness!!), but I can imagine it would be horribly exhausting. Of course, fending off well-meaning enquiries & hints would also be exhausting, so there is something to be said for ripping off the bandaid, as you put it. i think your FB post was perfect (belongs in a textbook, actually...!), and I am so glad that the response to date has been supportive.

I'm so glad you've gotten this outpouring of love and support. Even though it's overwhelming now, it's something to be able to look back on. Bravo again lady. And continuing to send lots of love.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-9639920532136358022017-06-30T21:40:26.710-07:002017-06-30T21:40:26.710-07:00I also think it was a lovely message.

It's okay not to respond straight away, or to write a blanket response to all, then follow up individually if you want to when you have the energy and strength.

I can understand the exhaustion though: hopefully with this task complete you can relax into summer and more quiet kinds of healing. torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-91398582993685706812017-06-30T10:39:04.761-07:002017-06-30T10:39:04.761-07:00So much admiration for you!
