Wow Susan!! I can tell you been on the receiving end as well. I was prompted to write this by a letter from a customer sharing her experience as a woman who is going bald on top of her head, confined to a wheelchair (and therefore all the more certain that everyone's looking down on her bald spot) and yet finding that she has no one just listen and validate the fact that she's going bald on top. I could relate on many levels. When I lost my hair, it didn't just thin or gradually disappear over years. It started coming out in handfuls -out of the blue - and at a fast enough pace that I went from a full head of hair to completely bald in just 3 months. And everyone denied they could see any difference almost right up until I was bald! It made me feel like I had no one I could talk to and trying was a waste of time.
Compassionate honesty. I'm all for it!
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Best,
Susan
