23、My middle child was born and rushed to the newborn intensive care unit (ICU). I was shocked to learn that he was sick. Suddenly, my life was out of control. My husband and I with two full-time careers were dropping our 2-year-old at day care each morning before racing to visit our son at the hospital.
“Let me know what I can do,” many of our loved ones said. Instead of reaching out, I withdrew and struggled to manage everything on my plate. Why did it feel awkward being on the receiving end of assistance?
Being uncomfortable asking for help is an almost universal experience. We may worry about how embarrassing it will be if someone says no. We may also worry about how guilty we will feel if they say yes. “Do you see the person who asks for support as a burden?” I asked my mother. “No, of course not,” she said. “In fact, helping is one of the most rewarding experiences we can have.” Her words resonated(引起共鸣) with me. I was raised to be independent and to help others is something I’ve always enjoyed.
I felt funny relying on people outside my inner circle. I thought leaning on my closest family and friends would be most comfortable, but they lived an hour or more away. Then the favors from others made me feel loved and supported. With them often taking care of meals and other areas of our lives, it was easier to focus and take in news from doctors.
We all wish people could read our minds, know what we need and volunteer it. Actually, they have to understand that we need help, and know what kind you want them to give—that means you really do have to ask. I’m now a pro at asking for help. I don’t only rely on my inner circle. I have a large community of resources—which benefits all of us.
