In short:
- Some people in your life go missing just when you need them most
- There were people who let me down cancer treatment that put me on a quest to find out why
- Having collected and analyzed hundreds of reasons people have provided, I can share with you 3 top reasons why people fade away during cancer
- Reason #1: Their own fear of death and dying gets in the way of supporting you when it’s easier to turn away from
- Reason #2: People don’t want to offend you by saying the wrong thing so they do the worst thing possible, which is nothing at all
- Reason #3: It can be hard to notice sometimes that we can grow distant with people and be close friends in name only and it may take a disaster like cancer to bring that to light
- To get the support you want, it’s best to explain to your people exactly what you want from them to be there for you
- Those who truly care about you will be grateful for giving them the opportunity to support you on your terms
- Send an email with a list of practical things that people can volunteer for
