Sometimes the oddest things happen.<P>A few moments ago a female acquaintance I made on one of those boards I shouldn't be going to me told me she was dying of cancer. She was sent home from the hospital to die.<P>I feel so sad.<P>And, because of the circumstances I can't exactly go tell my husband why I'm sad.<P>I guess it's a good thing that I think of talking to my husband about it at all.<P>You never know what lessons you're going to learn in this life. Or from where.<P>Thank you for listening.<P>Blessings.<BR>Kat =^^=

Hello Kat,<BR>I am so sorry for this news you have received.<BR>It is very loving that you want to share with your h. I think you could do this in a way so as not to divulge, if that is what you choose to do. Kat, why not reach out to him and let him support you when you want him to? <BR>(I am not advocating keeping secrets from your spouse, but we do know there is a time that things should be shared.) <BR>So often we have talked about needs-both male and female. Tell him about your needs-that you want to talk about the impending death of your friend. Let him have the opportunity to be there for you.<BR>aloha, cl

It is never easy. Last fall, in the same week I told a friend that my wife had left me, he found out he had cancer. I suddenly thought that here I am experiencing something bad, but my friend's life is suddenly an unknown. It makes you put things in perspective.<P>Take care.

Thank you all for your replies.<P>Here I am, up into the wee small hours....the best I can report is that I didn't go to the message boards where I knew I would find others who know her. But I did talk to someone outside of the boards who knows her.<P>cl, I was going to do what you suggested, but when I went upstairs he was already asleep, lights out. So I came back downstairs.<P>Rick, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. {{hugs}} to you.<P>trace, soulloss, new beginning, Thank you all for your thoughts.<P>Blessings.<BR>Kat =^^=

Kat - I assume you know my story. Please don't hide your feelings from your H. This is what brought about my wife's affair - she couldn't talk to me about our son. His cancer may now take our marriage, as well.<P>Dave
