Scrapbook Ideas

I have been absent lately.
Not only here on the blog but in other areas of my life. It’s a survival tactic that I’m allowing myself right now because I need it.

I have a colleague here at work who is dying of pancreatic cancer.
It has put a general numbing effect on my an the rest of the team (there are 5 of us).

She has made the bold choice to forgo treatment. It’s a very unpopular choice with her family, especially one of her kids. He’s very angry and lashing out.

Isn’t it strange how ill prepared we are to face death? I mean, we all know it’s coming. For each and every one of us. You would think by now we’d have come up with some standard or ‘acceptable’ methods of dealing with it.

I tend to withdraw when I grieve. My process is very internal and private.
It’s also draining. And yet the world does not stop spinning, and people at work still expect you to perform.

It leaves me with very little energy for things like blogging.
Sorry, but I’m just not there yet.
