@advocatemomdad I think we feel different emotions with family than we might with others. And we feel their emotions along with ours. I know I for one tried not to upset my family. #gyncsm
Sarah Cassidy @CassidyFish2
@advocatemomdad Such a good point. I feel that's a place where caregivers can/should help - as a buffer when the well-meaning share too much of their own emotions with the patient. #gyncsm

We find that's a place where care teams and #peersupport orgs can help - it's easier to have the conversation if your doctor is suggesting a resource like CHN. Validation for your feelings - and permission to share them. #gyncsm
