Re: Sleeping too much

Hi Everyone, Missed ya,

I've been Laid up with another cold this week & sleeping a lot. Also watching my online time as getting close to my monthly data limit - only 2days left though.

Love the puppy cat picture @Faith-and-Hope, thanks for that. My dog has the same colouring as that dog. Not much of a cat person though - allergic big time. Cats don't know it though, they always want to smooch up to my legs. Can't touch them or I'd become puffy, wheezy & drippy for the rest of the day . Nearly freaked our last week when a church friends cat jumped up on my lap 😲 I threw my hands in the air & cried "get it off" - bit embarrassing but gave them a laugh 😕. Poor putty tat.

Rang my son tonight, he's fine, enjoying life without study. Says he feels like a 'grown-up' now. His partner has started representing clients in court without supervision this month which she loves (fledgling solicitor 1st yr). So proud of them both, looking fwd to Tim's Grad next month. Oh, he did IT (web development).

Hiya @Former-Member

Sorry to hear you have been laid up with a nasty cold ......

Your turn for Lemon and Honey Tea ❣ I shared one in the coffee corner earlier today 😊

So thrilled that your Claypot (name correct ?) got represented in the image I posted ...... funniest part about that is I am a real cat person 😆 At least you can share cuddles with a virtual cat ........ this forum has so many advantages like that ...... ❣

Great to hear that your kids (son + partner) are doing so well ....... and yes, we are now all looking forward to his graduation, and your make-over plans, too 😊

❤️

Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope,

ClayPAN is our dogs name. He's curled up by my feet atm, with his little red jacket on, he's the Same size as a cat.

My mother's cat has playfully caused a nasty leg ulcer for the 3rd time this last year, needs antibiotics & the nurse coming to dress it. She still won't get rid if him. Pesky cat. Keeps mum going i guess.

Need to sleep soon.
Blessings 😴

Night @Former-Member

It is a big deal they are going professional and graduating and all that.

I just had to do the salt water bath thing on my cats. We prevented an ulcer forming. 3 times in a year. I have only had one other ulcer on one cat about 8 years ago and mine are getting onto 14.

Take care of the cold

Re: Sleeping too much

😟 just woke reliving the Hospital Emergency ward the night my girl died. What do you call that anyway, a dream? a nightmare? a flashback? And why?? What's the purpose in reliving it all anyway? DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!! Makes me soooooooo angry, & scared, & lost & sad & alone. Now i'm crying. This sucks!

And how selfish am I acting all wounded when this happened to my girl? on my watch? Wish it would go away.

Guess i should get up, light a candle for my girl. Don't wannna be awake today.

Thanks saneforums for being here to talk to right now, kinda helps process it in some way, having to put it in words. Haven't had that before when it comes, attacks me like this, here on my own, in the throws of it. The stupid pointless tidal wave of debris...

Have to come back later to catch up on all your posts.

Re: Sleeping too much

Hi @Former-Member .......... 🌸

I hope you did get up and light that candle for your girl.

This is not coming from any medical training ...... this is just my thought ........ so I hope it's helpful to you in some way .......

It sounds to me like you have experienced a grief response, that your mind and heart are trying to process that moment, and it is so deeply buried while you are awake, your body took a moment when you were asleep to just touch on that point of extreme pain and release just a drop of it ....... but even that drop was so concentrate it spun you out .......

Please be very gentle on yourself today. Engage in all your self-care strategies, and keep Claypan close by you ..... I am sure he will be able to sense your distress and will want to be there to comfort you.

There may be more you can do in tiny ways that can help this pain ruse to the surface and dissipate in less confronting ways ........ such as lighting a candle more often ........ drawing together more special items that remind you of her, and putting them into a special compntainer like a beautiful basket in a bit if a display somewhere in your home, so you can come and touch the objects sometimes, and leave little gifts by thenpm, like flowers you have picked, or a symbol of your faith.

Grief is a long-term thing, as far as I can understand, and as we are walking with it for a long period of time, it's best that we give it some voluntary space in our lives, so it is less likely to break through in involuntary ways, at least not quite so powerfully ....... but not so much space that we can't move past it to focus on living.

The Greek people retain a lot of ritual around the passing of their loved ones, and mark the dates as an anniversary with church attendance, the lighting of candles, the making of a special memory-cake that is shared out amongst friends and family, they wear black clothes for the day ........ it is a celebration of life rather than death ..... it is a holding in memory a special person, and the time that was spent together, as a blessing and special, so special, for what it was.

I hope this brings you some sort of comfort @Former-Member. On my mother's "special days", including the day of her passing, I make her Date and Almond Loaf recipe and share it with anybody who is around. I cook a dinner dish from one of her recipes. I buy her flowers and put them in a vase by her picture, and light a candle. I do physical things to hold her in memory and celebrate her life. It is a way of allowing the pain it's place to exist, and the opportunity to translate into other special emotions, like appreciation for the time we did have together. It's a way of sharing her with others, whether they knew her or not.

Big hugs @Former-Member. 💗🌸💐

Talk to us about your girl on the days that you can, so we can know her through you, and on the days that you can't, know that we are also carrying these special notes of memory around with us too.

I will light a candle for your girl, and pick flowers for her too.

"May her memory be eternal ❣"
