in the past week, i have lost two very dear friends; my brother-in-law's mother, & a close friend from church. i have been crying off and on since saturday when i found out about "granny-granny" being taken to the emergency room,& being in critical condition following emergency surgery. it doesn't help they live 8 hours away, & i've not seen them since thanksgiving. she passed away sunday morning, then i learned of my friend's passing -after a hard fought battle with colon cancer-(monday night) on tuesday afternoon. this was too much for me, and i broke down in tears. my husband, who has worked in the emergency rescue services for the last 15 years (currently as a paramedic), said, "i'm sorry to hear that, but if it was their time, it was their time, and there's nothing we can do. there's no point in crying over it now." is this just typical male behavior, or has he taken the emotional detachment from his job too far? when i ask him, he says i worry too much. am i just being paranoid?
