Sorry to hear that @LostAngel

I remember receiving the news my mum had breast cancer, I went into total shock and was crying while trying to work at my job in Manufactuing. Very hard news to bear. How are you doing today?

Hi @LostAngel

That's a lot to go through for you, especially on top of the frantic day to day that seems to get on top of us at the best of times.

It's good that you've recognised your emotions, I encourage you to take time to experience them. They are there for a reason and as hard as it is, it shows that you care deeply for your aunt and uncle.

For now, takes things one day at a time. Don't forget to look after yourself and make sure you don't neglect your own needs, especially getting enough rest. The renovations will get done when they do, if it takes longer than you first thought, that's ok.

Take care
