Members came together with concern for a fellow community member named Mary, who has been expressing deep emotional pain including negative feelings about her body and her future during her cancer journey. Several members shared that they had been blocked by Mary, yet continued to hold compassion for her, noting that her blocking behavior may be a way of coping and seeking safety amid overwhelming emotions. A recurring theme was that while the community can offer encouragement and prayer, professional support may also be needed, and members reminded each other that their collective care and effort to help is something truly special.

She seems to be not able to take any advice and blocks those that help her eventually.

In doing that, she must feel that she is isolating and protecting herself as a safety mechanism and measure.

We've all tried to help and that is all we can do. It's a sad situation but I think a lot of us have been blocked and that's okay if she wants to do that. It's just really sad. This is a wonderful group of folks just trying to help each other and I think that's pretty special. All of you are special and brilliant and caring. Can't ask for more than that. Love and hugs.

Another one of the blocked flock here. Thanks for the update @A MyBCTeam Member. I've been thinking of her too and wondering how she's doing. All any one who hasn't been blocked can do is try to be supportive of Mary and her struggles, but I don't know if that will be enough for her. I honestly think she needs other kinds of help in addition to what we can provide here, but for those who are able, keep up the good work you are doing to let her know we care for and support her ❤️
