What Have You Done For Your Supporter/s Lately.

@Echo , wouldn't that be great to be able to have a party for everyone who has been so kind. :cool: . Bet you they would all get along. :) I think that was a lovely idea of yours.

I try to be there for them in whatever small way I am able.

My husband is a very emotional sort of guy. He feels more loved if I connect with him. I support by talking with him and offering him to lean on me every once in awhile. The other night he came home and we just started talking to each other like we were dying to talk with each other all day. We shared our day and then laid down on the bed and talked more.

Listening to B and supporting him about his Dad, who has dementia and coming up with different strategies for him.

Also when he is happy and excited about something, like the car yesterday and the day before I tell him it is great he is sounding happy and I listen to the details of the car. (O I don't really understand but it is interesting to try to and he feels special.)

@Ms Spock, great topic. Thanks for starting this thread.

I have been thinking of starting this thread for awhile because if you are aware of all the supporters on this site, you come to ask yourself how do we give back? How do we cherish what we have? How do we show appreciation for what is on offer? How often do we say thank you? How can we communicate gratitude to the supporters in our lives.

I actually just slowed down and said thank you last night. It felt so good to just say those two simple words. I know it meant a lot to him because he responded so well. I often forget why it is so hard, but so easy to say thank you.

Ringing and just listening B about his projects.

My spouse does so much for me and my family. On top of the PTSD/depression, I have chronic illnesses that have effected our lives. I worry so much about how I am a burden to my family, but they never act like I am. I try to tell them from time to time that I am thankful for them. That I appreciate them. That I love them. I've done that with some friends who have been truly supportive, especially these last two years. It's hard to do, but they seem happy when I do.

Focusing on B and his life exclusively. Really being present for him and his Dad. Keeping in contact.

 

[ms spock]

I am really coming up with some great ideas surrounding this stuff. I will write more later.

I rang B tonight and we talked for a bit. I said I was sorry to put him through so much last year. It was a good conversation, he was most generous. He said I didn't choose any of this and to keep nibbling away at it.

Tomorrow I will have to be thankful. Now is difficult. Trying to remember that there will be a tomorrow. This will end, I will say thank you tomorrow.
