My beautiful son visited tonight and I had a brief opportunity to take a break and chat to him.

I broke down, he said I look terrible.

Seeing someone you love struggling like this is just heartbreaking.

My mother is not coping very well at all.

I feel like the glue holding it all together.

Deep breaths, Namaste or something like that!!!!!

Thank you @tyme I don't feel brave at all.

Its confronting, and scary and all the emotions. I appreciate your company 💙

You're right @Anastasia . Sometimes, taking steps of bravery may not feel so brave, yet they are the steps needed to make a difference.

I here for you. Sitting with you. Holding your hand despite the scariness of the journey you are taking.

Take Care,

tyme

Hi, dear friend @Anastasia

You said you had "really confronting difficult night" on Weds night...oh gosh 😞

Are you able to sleep in small bursts?

Your poor Mum, too 😞 Is she not coping with the end-of-life heartbreak, or is it that you both need more help with the physical caring?

I'm also concerned as you wrote that your boy's due to come out of hospital at the end of the week, which is about now...

Sending wishes (among other things) for you and your Mum's endurance and strength - emotional, mental and physical. And enough sleep in small bursts.

Much 💚 and hugs to you...

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Hello dear friend @NatureLover ,

Thank you for being my constant 🙏

Mum's not coping with the daily changes, a creature of habit and that in conjunction with the heart ache and sleep deprivation is not a good mix.

My boys due out at the end of next week.

Not sure how I'll deal with that. Right now I'm in the present and that's all I can be for now.

Thank you for your wishes, I appreciate them very much.

Hope you're ok and that the sun is shining, the coffees hot, and you have all that you need xox
