Today I found out that someone at work, someone I am very close to (called C), has cancer.
It's cliched, but the room literally started spinning when I got the email. Because the information didn't come from C directly, I don't know what to do.
Do I say anything?
What can I do?
Is it better to wait until C tells me directly?
No one in my life has ever been truly sick (with the exception of my great-grandparents, who died when I was really, really little.
I have so many things to do before I leave town, but I can't focus on anything. Even wrapping presents (which I love love love) seems overwhelming right now. And I'm out of beer.
