> I don’t think it’s selfish at all. It’s completely normal and acceptable.For some perspective on how normal this is, I've read a few books on psychological aspects of war recently and one of a soldier's greatest fears is not so much of dying as dying *alone*. I'm certain the same goes for suffering.
Elaine, you're not some hideous freak but a sensitive, honest and kind-hearted woman. You deserve far better than the hand you've been dealt. Know that you are lovable. Know that many people here value you and care about you very much. (((Elaine)))
