Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

That is part of our situation now @Determined ..... moving S2 away from our extended family dynamic, and out of our household where my hubby has brecome that dynamic ..... sadly. The pd is a familial thing.

Up to 26 years with my Hubby.

@Faith-and-Hope Moving is hard. We had a time when we moved nowhere near that far, but away from a very supportive church community to an average suburb where it takes a real effort to get to know your next door neighbour. Moving from that suburb out to our current town was different altogether, because we've got a community of a different sort here; but we've never found another church that has the same kind of "heart" as the one we were in long ago. We're confident all these moves were "in God's time", but that didn't necessarily make things smooth and easy.

And oddly, I've got a friend who has just moved the other way- from coastal Vic to country WA. So she's settling in and finding her feet in a new place, and with an intelligent son with Aspergers... I guess I'm thinking that you're not doing the journey alone, we're looking out for you as best we can, and I expect there will be others who will "meet" you on the way.

My head knows that @Smc .... but my heart is bruised by it at the moment. It’s been a blind-side. So was S2’s dx .....

There is a gift in it in that we have a fully-furnished property to stay in over there, and we are keeping our family home here, so tripping backwards and forwards between the two. That will be tiring too , but yeah ..... it is what it is, and thank God for my forum family .....

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Faith-and-Hope I know what you mean. I feel pretty internally bruised from what's been happening with us, and keep reminding myself that I'll be able to see God's hand in it when I look back, even if it's all a fog at the moment.

Very deep mugs of chocolate tonight... hope no-one minds.
