Cancer is one of those traumatic experiences that seems to draw people together. Even those friends and family members with whom you had differences; suddenly those differences seem meaningless. This was the case with my husband and his mother. There had been some bad blood between them and they hadn’t spoken for a while, but because I was sick and he knew that his mother loved me, he decided to extend the olive branch and call to invite her to stay with us and visit me. Unfortunately, in a family of highly emotional individuals put into an extremely stressful situation, the peace was short lived. Words were exchanged, past angers were awakened, and I was in the middle begging for everyone to stop. Without going into details, the fight crescendoed until my mother-in-law changed her flight so that she could leave early. I hate to see her go, but I hate stressful situations even more. I don’t have the energy for this right now so I agree with her decision and say goodbye.
