Eric, don't feel guilty

In life you will always find someone else who has it worse than you. It shouldn't minimize what you are experiencing.

Compassion and empathy for everyone. You never know what someone may be going through.

Well said Snoopy.

Eric, sometimes just sincerely saying sorry is the best expression of compassion and understanding for one who is grieving.

With love, Erika

Your consideration and concern indicate how caring you are so I would bet this came across to the young lady who lost her friend.

Very soon after I was diagnosed a friend in her early 30s was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away a couple of years later so I try to think of her when I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Kindness and empathy are very great in you...however, don't invalidate what you're going through. Everyone is dealt a hand in life-some get a pretty good one, others get the worst. Its all different.
It's a good idea to remember that we all carry different sized crosses in our journey through life...we just don't always see them (like MS). Thanks for the reminder
