Re: not coping

It will be autumn soon...

One of my understandings of why it can be helpful to observe a day that is about suffering is to give it some dignity, that not all coming together is happy. You have enough dignity and courage and care. It has been good to walk with you for parts of the journey.

Re: not coping

I dont know @Snowie i just want to hide away. I was suppose to have a break but pop come home a week early-damn it and theres nothing else i can do. All the emotions memories guilt fear etc is just alot plus still dealing with antibiotics and the side effects.

Re: not coping

That must be super hard for you hon @outlander

I am so sorry that your Pop came home early and you didn't get a break. That must be really hard to deal with for you on top of the side effects for your antibiotics.

Have you got anything planned for the weekend or are you just going to take it easy?
