Where acceptance is all there is!
“Please Don’t”
Just for now,
Please don’t tell me that “its just hair” because it is much more than that.
Please don’t tell me that “hopefully it will grow back” because that doesn’t matter right now.
Please don’t tell me I look pretty without, because I do not believe you.
Please don’t tell me that “you thought you noticed something different about me”, because I'm already self-conscience enough.
Please don’t tell me you knew I was wearing hair that’s not my own, because that will break me into pieces.
Please don’t give me well intentioned advice on “how to handle this” because its different for everyone and I am just holding on.
Just be here and be my friend.

thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement!
Wow
Its like you read my mind!
this post ha resonated with so many people and it has validated so many feelings good to someone saying how they feel and not fearing facing there pain.
Love the post Samantha. Those feelings I deal with everyday and I often wonder if they'll ever go away. All I guess I can do is "hold on".
Your blog is so well written. It is hard enough to cope with the alopecia and I agree sometimes you just dont want to hear that it is just hair especially from people that have full heads of hair.
Great Blog.
Take care,
Jill
Exactly! Well written Samantha...
I love this.
This blog is awesome it expresses exactly what my partner says all the time. The mistakes I mads in the early stages thinking I was being supportive went down the lines describe, and the times I have seen comments on here, as well meaning as they may be are very unfeeling. No one wants to hear they look beautiful bald when they are feeling so freakish, males you wonder how bad you looked with hair if you look better without it. This would have to be the best blog on how it feels to be bald if I had read this years ago I would have been a better husband and friend to my partner. Thanks Samantha.
I really like your blog. That's exactly how I feel too!
