Hang on to the hope Diane, it's good that you have friends by your side, and your blogging friends are just a click or two away. Some may not understand, or at least not all that you are dealing with. one thing I understand 100% is PTSD - anaesthesia awareness during major surgery with cardiac arrest and other issues. Keep the picture of Fintan in his favourite plaid shirt uppermost in your mind.
I'm so happy your son came and you were all able to have a happy visit, and that you had a chat with your daughter, keep on keeping on the best you can. Take rest when you can and carry on with the therapy.
Enjoyed your newsy "chat" and the smiles it includes. I, too, am grateful for your network of friends and all the ways they enrich your life and mine, too. Keep on singing with Gloria and sharing with us ~ ~ the days are passing and bringing new blessings as they come.
I believe in hope and encouragement and am so pleased you have both.
The long, slow, horribly painful leave-takings our loved ones go through have to leave the survivors with PTSD. I’m sure my brother has it from his short & horrible leave-taking his wife did. I hope your therapist gives you tools to help you.
There is so much love all around you.
Love, love, love and hope hope hope. It’s been 8 years and I still wonder if I was a good child during my folks’ dying days.
