I wonder why it is when there is a group of women anywhere clubs,
church, work, etc., there are those who form "cliques" and have to
gossip about the other ones? I have been very sick for sometime and
recovering from Stage I Cancer and had to have two surgeries this past
year. I've not gotten any symphathy at all from family members and
told "to stop feeling sorry for myself." And that noone in my family
could stand me. I don't even live close to any family anymore! I live
about 2,000 miles away in fact.

And at church I know the ladies are trying to be nice and keep me
involved, but my RS President keeps signing me up for things I feel I
can't do at this time. When I can't show up to my calling there is one
woman who thinks I should have "recovered" by now.
How do you deal with unsymphathatic people with no compassion
whatsoever?

What would you say to them when they make such remarks to you?
