In Reply to: Ever say the wrong thing - What a bumbler I am

I haven't read the other responses yet, but for what it's worth - not saying anything is worse than saying the wrong thing. My husband was just dx'd with CA last week, given maybe 6-9 mos. to live. My niece, whom I love dearly, said NOTHING. It really hurt my feelings. I know now that she just didn't know what to say and didn't want to say something stupid. People need to know you care, even if you stumble and say something stupid. Never be afraid to show you care.
