Living in south Louisiana is like living on some alien planet. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is religious, especially Catholics. No one to relate to, no one to confide in.
Although I would like to have a face to face encounter with a Secular Support Group, I'll settle for online for now.
Very interesting quotes above. My husband, Gary, the one in our family with the cancer, is from Louisiana, brought up by Catholic brothers in school, but remains agnostic/atheist since age 18, when he escaped Louisiana to go to the University of Arizona in Tucson.
ReplyDeleteChristopher Hitchens was a favorite, and he was gone all too soon. I did not know Emma Thompson was in our fold, but we have always admired her, as well.
You are not alone, Girl. This is a very difficult journey you are undertaking, and I am reading forward on your entries. I sincerely wish you had some familial support, as that makes all the difference in the world.

Hi Judie, I have wonderful neighbors who have been a big help to me. Also have a brother who has offered his assistance. Have a couple of lifelong friends who live about an hour or so away from me but do come by and help when I need someone to stay overnight after a procedure. My son lives in Baton Rouge and is unable to visit as often as I would like. So far, I'm managing well.
