Thinking of you @Anastasia hope by now that you are able to take a breather, perhaps have a warm cuppa. 💕

I am sending you wishes for things to improve and some coffee and sun.
You're always in my heart and thoughts 💛
This was so kind of you, on the day of your precious Dad's funeral, dear @Anastasia 💔
I hope it went smoothly...you must be feeling so exhausted and drained now. I'm really hoping (sending wishes) that your boss has given you some time off. You Mum must be feeling lost, and I know you'll be determined about being there for her... I'm wondering also whether you'd have time to fit in some sessions with your holistic counsellor at this time? You've been so strong for so long, it's OK to fall in a heap if that's what you need to do. I know you will think you can't fall in a heap, your boy and your Mum need you...but maybe you can fall in a heap just while at the counsellor's, and trust in their support?
Sending much care, hugs and 💚, also wishes for everything I can think of.

Hello sweet @Bow I'm not doing well at all. I walked away from work today. Just couldn't be anything to them. Tomorrow I'm expected back and then Dr Monday as I'm concerned about myself. See what she says. I read you're struggling, I'm sorry to hear. I'm also sorry I'm not supported you at present. I always have you in my heart x

Nothing to apologise at all for @Anastasia!
im really sorry that you are not doing ok, but I am honestly not surprised. You have had so much on your plate lately, giving so much of yourself, you were bound to reach a point of breaking. I really hope your dr can be of help for you. And I also hope that your work is being understanding.
