Thank you so much for this. That's so kind of you. I know what you mean about not knowing whether or not to say, "I hope so-and-so gets better." Because in a way, we don't want them to. We'd rather the hardship is over for them. When my dad went through a rebound phase in late January, it threw me for a loop, and a friend of mine said, very bravely, "I'm sorry your dad didn't die when it was expected." I completely broke down because that's exactly how I felt and it seemed inappropriate to say it out loud. It was a huge release for someone else to say it. <3
