How to cope with cancer ghosting
The verb ¡®ghosting¡¯ commonly describes when a friend, partner or even family member ¡ª who is still alive and well ¡ª simply vanishes from your life with very little explanation. Poof! Suddenly, in-person invites are unacknowledged. Calls go to voicemail. Texts are left on read. And you, in return, feel like you¡¯re being haunted by the ghost of Loved One Past.
Sadly, ghosting isn¡¯t limited to Halloween parties, haunted houses or even romantic relationships. Ghosting also happens during cancer treatment and survivorship. Social Work Program Manager Lauren Adams explains why, and how to deal with the fallout.
