Never say "Things can't get worse!"



Backstory

Made the mistake of making this statement a few months after my Father died. Within weeks my Mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer beginning a 3 1/2 year battle for life. I know saying those words didn't make bad things happen. But I know I was wrong and I'll never make that statement again!

Bless you.

It just seems like it's getting harder and harder to have a "normal" healthy family life.

Sorry you're having to go through this.

Ditto. Said that two cancers ago, one terminal. Things can and do get worse, sometimes all at once.
