This article appeared in last Sunday's NYT by Bruce Feiler and it had the six things never to say to someone sick (and the top five things to say). A great article for us MSers and one that should be required reading for our friends. OMG, I agree with all the nevers. I never really thought about #1, but it is too true. Everyone offers to help, but no one actually just does it without asking. When they ask, even if I could use it, I always so no. Which one is your favorite?
1. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?
2. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
3. DID YOU TRY THAT MANGO COLONIC I RECOMMENDED?
4. EVERYTHING WILL BE O.K.
5. HOW ARE WE TODAY?
6. YOU LOOK GREAT.
