How is Jac's Health

Writer with Flair · ‎08-21-2013

How is Jac's health? I know she was ill a while back and saw that she was not on the most recent shows. I am keeping her in my prayers.

This is such a personal and private matter that you may want to pose this question on Louis' blog where he can comfortably give you a reply. I'm quite sure that we are all keeping Jac in our healing thoughts and prayers.

Dear Writer with Flair....I truly appreciate your concern, actually all of our concern, but Barbara is right. This isn't the place to discuss it. Jac has always struck me as a very private person, and I doubt she would like being discussed on such a public forum. Louis' site would be they place to ask him. I mean no disrespect, I'm just thinking of Jac's privacy.

i personally would not even ask on the ldo blog.

when they want someone to know, they will do it on there or on her facebook page.

she has mentioned her health numerous times there, but her page may be set to private.

these forums and his blog are open for all to see.

You are absolutely right. It’s no bodies business.

I totally agree.

And, here's the other thing about raising this as an "issue" (especially on a public forum) is that it implies there is something serious there. We ALL have health issues from time-to-time and we don't broadcast them or fret in public. We recover and heal and move on. Let's assume only the best and mind our own business.

However, there is nothing wrong with wishing the two of them good health and offering blessings to them on the blog and if he wishes, at that point, to share, he can but if not, he will just thank you and know that you are thinking of them.

Grace,

Thank you for perfectly expressing what I have been hesitant to add but batting about in my mind for several days.

Why didn't I? Because I feel there is something about my posts (at least on several other forums) that inflame folks. My aim is typically to find common ground and make peace rather than ignite protest, so I am always puzzled by this opposite outcome for me. (Personally, I think there are some really stunted souls on the board at large, and they reveal their petty and nasty natures often.)

Your main points are spot on:

We all have a right to privacy -- even to matters that others deem trivial. I am like that and always have been. I share what I want to share. Period.

Health concerns might be for a non-threatening condition, but they can be a trial. No matter what, if I wish to share anything about my health, I will. If I haven't, it is because I choose not to share. This choice belongs to all of us. Not sharing does not mean something horrible is going on.

Name,

I think your approach is a kind and thoughtful one, but all of us are different about "having things brought up." For myself, I change often about this sort of thing and when I want to share my sad or concerning news.

Have you ever had GREAT worries and hope and pray that no one calls you or contacts you because you are finding it hard to hold in your pain but you don't want to share it just yet, if ever? I have been in that spot many times.

It is a "da.... if you do and da.... if you don't" position, I agree, but I sometimes deliberately do not ask people who are going through something about that something. I hope that if they want to discuss it, they will bring it up. I end up playing it by ear at times, I'll admit.

Thank you and, as always, you found the perfect words. I think you are always spot on and speak truthfully and with far less bluntness than many of us--including myself! But, even those of us who do speak candidly, our intentions are usually good ones--I trust yours are always, which is why I enjoy reading what you have to say.

Health concerns are private--I couldn't agree with you more. And, Jac knows we care about her and Louis--that's a given. We share those feelings regularly on the blog and Jac's Facebook page. So, respecting their privacy comes with the territory, much as we'd do with friends. The choice is theirs to share or not and regardless, it doesn't mean something horrible is in play. I like to assume the best for them and refrain from inquiring...for me, it's the way to show respect and support.
