Moving forward

Hi @utopia, i understand the need to pull back from the forums sometimes, especially when things in your physical world are taxing.

This 'close friend' - your - 'other mum' in palliative care would be difficult and you feel the need to focus on supporting her to a peaceful death and support her family. They are lucky to have you. No wonder you feel exhausted though (so taxing emotionally).

Its good that you are looking after you, taking snippets of time away to recharge, meditating, praying, time on your mountain. Be careful you don't become too isolated, we need balance (gosh, I should talk lol). Anyway, I have nurses people through palliative care and learned a fair bit with family and friends with terminal cancer this last couple of years, if you want to share any part of it. Maybe a new thread. Is she 'end stage' ? At home? In hospice? One of those electric aromatherapy burners are nice to have in her room. Anyway, tag me if you want to chat. I'm not busy. And thanks for letting me know where you're at. Sorry you have to go through this, Big hug to you xox

Beautiful @Former-Member ....

You've just said everything that I was thinking ....

Hugs @utopia ❤️

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue 🙂 How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

@Former-Member @Decadian @Faith-and-Hope. Thanks for your messages.
My 'other mum' is in hospital due to a massive stroke - anurisym. She's been taken off all support. Just on pain relief. It's unfortunately a long dying process.
I've been lucky that I've been able to talk with my old friend and say exactly how I'm feeling and swear or cry or laugh. He's been a great help - just letting me say what I need to & release everything. As I'm trying to stay strong for other mums family and the community.
I'm doing well. Not isolating myself. But recharging when necessary.
There is so much to do - so I'll most likely be off this week as well.
Take care of each other.

@utopia thinking of you. Hugs and love to you at this difficult time. ❤️❤️❤️

Have you seen how long it's been since I posted here?

@Faith-and-Hope. Putting my big girl pants on and posting here. Have put away what is under my bed so it's not quite so easy and I can't keep adding. Just thought you'd like to know as a baby step forward 💜🤗💐
