The daily top 10 inappropriate statements and or gestures when interacting with a person diagnosed with breast cancer:
#1. Don’t look at a person’s breast while stating, “How are you doing?”
I mean really, your attentiveness to my boobs and not look me directly in my face shows your lack of sincerity of what I am dealing with. If you are uncomfortable with my diagnosis, think about how I feel?
Curiosity is not trendy; remember curiosity killed the cat.
What can you do? Give a hug.
A hug lets me know you care. A hug speaks volumes; more words that you can probably articulate. A hug exudes warmth. A hug makes it seem as if everything will be okay; if only for that moment, minute or day.
A thousand hugs can mean a thousand moments of happiness.
During a dark, difficult time; let your actions and words shed light.
