I believe you have to laugh. My family has found humor has helped us many times. I will share one of many.
We were on the way home from a radiation appointment which is about 45 minutes away. It was nice so we had the windows down. We couldn't figure out what was flying around the car. FInally my mom said "It's my hair!!"
Please note that this was something my mom wanted control over, so we had decided when it started to really come out we would shave it.
She looked me straight in the face and said "I'll just stick my head out the sunroof and by the time we get home it will be taken care of!"
This was the first time we really laughed since this roller coaster ride had started. From that point on we find humor whenever we can.
Prayers and Laughter go out to your family,
Stay positive,
Dana
