Not sure what to do !!!

thank you my wonderful friend @Jacques , how are you going xoxo

Hello @Jacques , @Bunniekins , @Bea , @Owlunar , @Appleblossom , @Former-Member , @Former-Member , @Determined , @Faith-and-Hope , @outlander , @Adge , @PeppiPatty , @Ali11 , @Janiee , @utopia

we are going away for a week in may

mr shaz is starting to gett negative thinking

and I am getting worried about leaving mum for a week

@Shaz51 Hi Shaz51 the stress of going on holidays I feel it. Can you get someone to stay with your mum particularly overnight? I am sure there are agencies that look after older people that way. Or can she go into hospital during that period? I know she wont like it but it will only be for a week and then you wont worry about her as much.

As for me shaz idk I find the thought of going on a holiday super stressful so I understand completely where he is coming from ... I really cannot help with this one Shaz51 I am afraid ....

Sorry to hear that @Shaz51, where are you off to? Does your mum have outside help or are you her sole carer?

hello @Ali11 , @Bunniekins

thank you , mum would be upset that I am thinking like this

our D1 had brought us plane tickets to Darwin to spend a week with her @Ali11

I have told the transistion team about being away for the week and I will remind my aunty ( mum`s sister) that I will be away

yes my super @Bunniekins , I knew that you would kniow how my mr shaz would be feeling , he will be ok , I just need to be postive and calm xx

my MIL is already saying negative things to mr shaz as she always does

@Shaz51 sorry about MIL there is always one just to add to the anxiety of the situation.

You know what Shaz51 I don't know how you do it all. You manage to do so much in rl and online. Like my mum always says want something done give it to a busy person. Well you are that busy person xxxx

That sounds exciting @Shaz51, it's good that you have a team to help your mum, she'll be in good hands. We're sorry to hear that your husband is having negative thoughts about it, does it help to talk about some positive aspects about the trip?

Hi my dear friend,

i really hope you get away for a break, you need one so so badly, re mr shaz and his thinking, try to tell him all the amazing things you will see and do, how he will be able to relax and take so so many photos.

Your mum is a very independant woman @Shaz51 , she will be fine, maybe family could help to look after her for that week? or you could get some respite care for her.

just a thought

yes you are right @Jacques , my mum will be ok

very true with your mum says @Bunniekins , about if you want something done give it to a busy person , done that for yeeeeeaaaaarrrrrssss

yes @Ali11 , mr shaz has 3 sisters with depression and anxiety negative thoughts run through the family sorry to say and mr shaz 4 children all having inherited depression and anxiety

but so proud of mr shaz as we travelled tasmania for 10 days in a camper van which was his first holiday ever

soo this holiday for a week will be more relaxing
