Limbo

Sometimes one's nearest and dearest are actually one's furthest and dearest. There are three sets of people I know who are all going through challenging times at the moment. I am trying to be as supportive as I can but I haven't heard from any of them for some time.

I don't know if 'no news is good news' and they are making slow but steady progress or if the issues they are facing are overwhelming and they are sinking silently to the bottom of some slimy pit and need a hand up. I would gladly give them a hand - two if necessary - if I knew where to aim it.

I don't want them to think I don't care but nor do I want them to feel obliged to respond to enquiries about their welfare if they are just managing things in their own time and space.

I feel as if I'm living in limbo.
