Hi @PeppiPatty, I am now available to hold coffee, towel or whatever needs it. But I'm guessing you might be dressed and also drunk your coffee by now! Hope the day brings good things your way, PP.

@Shaz51
such a tragic ending for your loved one....devastating for her remaining family...
you sound as though you are feeling more empathy for your step children as a result...further indication of how strong you are @Shaz51
have not been around much...just in the shadows occasionally...have read that you have a trip ahead...
wishing you and mr shaz a safe and peaceful journey....
take care

@utopia
I am at the same dreaded stage....have been holding it at bay for some time..
then snap....
seeps all over me like some insidious substance...
sorry to hear that you are feeling similar...can let you know that you are not alone and I know that we are not alone also
I have run out of empathy...or more so energy to tender any...
take care and be extra gentle with yourself......very difficult time ahead for people like us....we have made it through before...
also you have made so much headway this year.....nothing changes that....this episode is separate...it will pass....we both have been here before and know this...
take care

@utopia
yes I understand what you are saying....
today I am fighting so hard not to get back into bed....
I have done so little...
all exercise has gone out of the window...should be the other way around...depression out of the window..
I found last time this set in that when I stopped fighting it...because I realised at that stage as in now the thing has more energy than I do to fight it....
so now I am compromising with the thing ...yes know it is there...it has succeeded in draining almost every ounce of energy out of my body....
I am going to ride it out though....let the tears come if they can...not give in and go back to bed as then that will feed the insomnia...
I have just realised that we are both acknowledging that the thing is with us ...we are writing about this very fact here....venting...releasing some of the pent up blech that comes with it...
we have started our first step in getting past this thing that does not deserve a title or name.
hmm I think that I might have vented just a tad of my anger too...
hope that this helps you rather than hinders
