He's gaunt and exhausted, but seeing him was not the kick in the gut I was bracing for. Not locked in my room sobbing. Was locked in my office sobbing twelve hours ago, though. Having my folks to look after makes it easier to keep it together; when I'm by myself and people are being nice to me is when I fall to bits.

Protestants, help me out: what's a prayer chain?

Can only second the thought that you need to care for yourself, too.

I'm the same - I can maintain it when there are other people around needing looking after, but if someone is sympathetic to me, I can feel the tears pricking.
