Bad news.....

How do you deal with bad news or at least when someone says its bad?




Earlier i was making a video for someone, it was just a youtube embed tutorial, as youtube have changed the code and the Ning network doesn't like it.


Anyway, my sister, in her usual way, knocks on my door then starts to walk in, she never waits for an ok, she just walks right in and asks why i haven't been door stairs to see how my dad's hospital visit went "It isn't good" then she waits for acknowledgement then leaves.


I know my dad, and i knew, he wouldn't be worried.


So i finish what i'm doing, making the video, why did i finish the video before going down stairs, because its how i deal with "Bad News" i want to stay busy.


My sisters why of dealing with bad news is to over exaggerate and worry when she doesn't need to.


So i eventually go down stairs and ask "Well?" i'm told that my dad had traces of  asbestos in his left lung, of course i'm getting this in brief, but my mum nor my dad seemed to worried about his, so then why should i worry?


Also he had a small lump on his right lung, he was a smoker, and three small lumps on his liver, but again, my mum nor my dad seemed to worry about this, and even though my dad was sitting and 10 feet away i started to refer to him in the third person, weird.


My sister is now going to shit her pants every time my dad coughs, and then come and till me about it, she probably thinks i'm insensitive or a sociopath, if she knew what that meant, which i'm sure she doesn't.


As my sister basis everything on emotion, as most women do, i base everything on facts, and right now, we have none, we have theories, and a biopsy next week should shed some light on what exactly the lumps are, but until then i'm not going to worry and stress myself out over it, that might sound insensitive, but right now, no one else seems to bothered about this.
