Not Coping

Very understandable @RiverSeal , @Birdofparadise8 , that we can not be everywhere where we want to be but it is still good that you can still ring your dad up xoxo

I'll see him next week so I'll make up for it @Shaz51

I've just been speaking to my family about my nan. She isn't very good, and I think she will go to palliative care. I called my dad this morning to wish him a happy Father's Day, and he doesn't think she will make it to Christmas. I just called her, and she didn't sound very well at all. I nearly cried, trying to talk to her. I don't know what I'll do if she dies. When I was in Tassie, we had such a close relationship. I would miss her so much. I'm even tearing up thinking about it.

Hey @Shaz51 @outlander @Kyle1 @creative_writer @Bow @tyme

How is everyone today?

@tyme I went for a bike ride around the docklands today. They have a new bike track. I'm not sure if you've heard of it. Bike track and West Gate Tunnel Project. The only thing I don't like compared to the Yarra is that there are quite a few traffic lights on the west gate one.

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

Sounds great! I spent most of the day out with the kids. They were annoying me a lot though, but I had to take advantage of the sunshine.

I haven’t heard of the new bike track.

Ah nice @tyme I hope you enjoyed some of it.

Yes, it was nic @outlander @tyme

I've written about 800 words today of my 2000-word essay I've got a total of about 1500 so far.

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

I just read the post about your nan. I'm sorry to hear she is unwell. I hope you will be able to have some special moments with her as is sounds like you have a special bond.

I guess having to complete an essay is a bit of a distraction tonight. I hear it is hard, yet it is something many of us have or will have to work through.

You are not alone.

Yeah mine is looking good too @outlander

What is yours on?

Hey @tyme

Yeah, she is really sick. I do hope she doesn't die by Christmas, but I guess she will be at peace as she is in a lot of pain. She is on some really strong pain relief and it still isn't helping. She has always expressed a wish to die.

I will see her when I go down on Friday. We really do have a close bond. She isn't as close to the other grandchildren as they don't talk to her as much. Yes well it is due on the 8th so I need to get it done hahah.

I'll probably go into a really depressed phase or something. I hope it won't break me. If I'm already getting upset thinking about it and how sick she is now. I don't know how I will cope.

Thank you though @tyme
