As obvious as the sun

Although my hairloss is as obvious as the sun my family will not discuss it. I find that when I bring up the subject they just stare at me with loving eyes and quickly change the subject. When an aquaintance asks or mentions the change they quickly jump in to divert the conversation. I guess they are protecting me from what they feel is uncomfortable and humiliating. In my hairloss journey I'm at the point that I do want to talk about it. There really is no use in secretly crying and suffering when it's as obvious as the sun.

Thea, Thank you so much for your encouraging words. You are absolutely right. They are probably going through their own individual process of accepting this and at the same time formulating a proper response. Time will tell-as usual. I am just so thankful that AW exists. It really has been a mental health saver for me.
