He doesn't but I recall in hospital it was suggested to him. Is it where you have something to touch, smell, etc? I'd love more info and I can attempt to put one together with him please @outlander

I had a zoom session with a government run association. It was amazing but difficult to continue as during working hours. The final one was a craft day face to face which I would have enjoyed but not able to with work commitments sadly @outlander

I love that. Thank you. I'll talk to him about it and hopefully it is something he's open to implementing. You have been so kind to me @outlander sitting with me talking me through. I still have so much concern but I do feel a little better so thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish for a brighter place for all of us I really do 😔🤗💞

You can make one up for you too id youd like @Anastasia you could call it a self care box. Its a pretty flexible thing.
Always happy to be here with and for you. Sometimes we just need to talk and let it out. My ears and heart are always open whenever you need 💛
Do you want to stay and chat more until you can settle enough for some sleep?
