A good amount of people just don't know how to react to a situation like this. I've worked on my social skills for a while now, and I'm able to talk to other people about these situations. But with my sister having a battle with cancer I really don't know what to say to her. I don't avoid her I just don't have the words to say.

I believe that many of us are simply not mentally prepared to handle situations like this. My sister could ask me in the future why I didn't talk more to her. All I could just simply say is, "I didn't know how to do so."
