Sometimes, our frights involve our thoughts. Sometimes, we get scared of what we have to face. Sometimes, we feel horrified by family members and their goofy behavior.

How much rests on our shoulders

I don't know what I am doing. :-) As in, am I doing the right things, at the right time, in the right order? Did I say the right thing to comfort him, or did it just cause him to worry more? Am I asking him, and his doctor, nurse, facility staff, the right questions? Should I share my worries & concerns with him, or continue to appear brave and confident? Do I argue, and work to help him understand, or should I continue to just divert, deflect and distract?\n\nThis is hard. And scary.
