I think it is healthy, and certainly if they are causing you more stress than reassurance I think it's wise.Upper Middle Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866673856636217747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125165466190100857.post-66450300969617891322012-06-21T08:40:37.770-07:002012-06-21T08:40:37.770-07:00I also struggle with this.

I think...I think only you can answer this question. I think the question becomes, are you feeling like you're doing yourself more harm than good from being supportive. If the answer is no, then I would continue with the norm. But I also think that it can become very easy to only see the pain and to work one's self into a constant state of worry. And that's not good. <br /><br />Look, do what is best for you. No guilt, no apologies. Right now, you need to take care of yourself.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125165466190100857.post-63379340691679993472012-06-20T16:48:16.925-07:002012-06-20T16:48:16.925-07:00I completely hear you on this one.

I think one thing that helps is finding a good support system outside of blog-land, so that if you do need to step away for a bit, you have other people to support you. And having some of those people who have not gone through these horrible losses/struggles seems like it would probably be wise too. I know at first, this was the only place I could get support. I'm slowly branching out and I think that is healthy for me.Sara-Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02106264089310972938noreply@blogger.com
