    I love these visuals from America Heart Association and I am stealing them to talk to you again about what not to say to someone dealing with cancer! It can also be used for a different subject.

    But I will always mention cancers as I went through 2 of them with 0 help and support *in person, thankfully I have you 🩷. And I may have another one/s not detected, and I am so tired of reading or hearing those sentences as I am dealing with other health issues.

    Do better. If you don’t know what to say tell me that instead of telling me these kind of sentences. Or look online there are many resources about what to say or not to say!
