Curiouser,

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. (((hugs))), if they feel comfortable. Take extra good care of yourself now, please.

Today I am feeling extremely sad and tired, yet have no idea why.

I am sat looking out of my patio door at the birds twittering and playing around, as they look for bugs under or holly tree, they are flying in and out of the tree enjoying the sunshine. There is not a cloud to be seen and the temperature is now 27 deg, and it is only 3.30 pm.

Amethist.

Today i am feeling very sad and angry after visiting my mum who was diagnosed with lung cancer, a progressive cancer 3 weeks ago and she is just wasting away :( I am angry that my mum is having to deal with her deteriation and her knowing she has weeks, months max a year and yet not knowing, any of us for that matter *when*

I love you mum xx

(((hugs))) to Pebbels - I am so sorry to hear that. Your anger is a natural reaction to a deeply stressful situation - be kind to yourself, and do some shouting, pillow-pounding, running, or whatever helps you express your anger. And do come back and keep us posted!

You are in my thoughts.

I'm feeling both happy and very nervous about my recent successes with food (details in the "Accomplishments & Success" forum). Will I really be able to keep this up?

I am so sorry to hear that Pebbles, be nice to yourself and your mum. None of this is good for anyone, the extra stress of knowing in advance must be difficult. Make the best of every day you have together, hard as this maybe, but build some wonderful memories of the time you have left together.

:Hug_emoticon: :Hug_emoticon: For both of you.

Hi Athena

One day at a time with all this, you will manage to move on in time. I also remember being to told to eat whatever it was because it was good for me when I was young, I never said that to my kids. Why should they have eaten something they did not like when I would not eat things I did not want to or like.

Same goes for you now, if you can think of it in that way.

Keep going with it.

Absolutely rubbish! I think events over the last few months have caught up with me.

I've just returned from a Parks meeting (community group who manage the gardens in my local park) & feel very deflated. I used to chair the gardens committee but I have had to take a back seat because of ptsd & more recently pneumonia which has trigger a bout of fatigue. With no energy & my short term memory letting me down big time, I'm finding my symptoms both embarrassing & very frustrating.

Also, my 'big' brother died two weeks ago, he, along with my dad were my rocks, not in a daily way but I always knew he was there when I needed him, nw they've both gone I feel very vulnerable again.

I havent done much relaxation over last two weeks so going to try this afternoon & hope it makes a difference.

so sorry Pebs.... went through my moms illness with her. (been gone for 10 years) Its hard. Funny though, she kept on teaching me more how to be as she valiantly went through it. She had a rare disease that attacked her lungs and kidneys. It is so very hard to watch a strong woman fade. yet in her eyes i always saw the light I recognized. I tried to look at it as an honor to help her and be with her. Share as much as you can... communicate and some days will be bad but some will be amazing because of this. I will think of you often... sending prayers your way for strength in knowing how to deal and make the most of this time.
