Bad news and family

You should have someone with you. As bad news isnt a good feeling.

This is a serious matter and if I am in your situation I would like to be with my husband at the dr. office so that i have someone who can hold on and cry on in case i loss control of my emotions.

I think I would rather go alone now since I don't have anyone in my family that I feel close enough with to share something like that and my daughter is too young and emotional to bear such a burden. I do have two possible friends that I may consider but I guess it depends on the circumstances.

I would most likely go myself. I have actually and dealt with it first, this way when it came time to let others know I had my emotions under some what of control. Not easy to do, for me I rather do this on my own. For family I would ask for verification to give them to read as well. This way there is no confusion as to what the news is for real. I am sorry to hear that you are expecting bad news this week. Saddens my heart. I have said a prayer for you..

I'd rather not go a lone if I were receiving bad news from the doctor. I know if I were to receive bad news, my hubby would be there with me and depending on how bad the news was my mom would definitely come to were I live to be with me as well. I don't think I could ever handle bad news alone.

I am not sure about it, I think it's about the kind of bad news as well. But I do believe I would go over alone since I would need time to give it a place myself first. Also I am not the kind of type who likes to be cheered up and hear nonsense comfort talking like: it all will be fine or ...

I would like to be with someone, be it a close family member or a close friend. I welcome you to mylot and hope that news are not so bad as you think they might be. Tell your son you want him there. Sometimes people don`t offer help because they don`t know what to do. Take care!

I think that in any circumstance, you should be able to tell a member of your family about what is going on with you, your life and health. That way, if there is a need to provide you with a certain ind of treatment, they would know how to manage it better.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't wanna expose them to the same type of anxious waiting and my anxiety, either. Also, I've always been the type of person who kept dealing with her biggest problems alone.
