Hi Jan,       I'm really glad you made an appointment with your counsellor.   Good for you taking care of yourself right now.  :)  One thing I like to do when I miss my girls is to make them care packages.   You know a care package is never refused at college; my girls tell me even store bought things taste better when they come in a care package.  LOL   I've had lots of fun hunting for something silly they used to like when they were little; then they always seem to get a kick of comparing simple childhood memories with their friends (nostalgia for them and me-hehehe).   Take care!            ~Helen

Great advice Helen!  Care package is a great idea!

HUGS, jan..  Glad you made appt!   You have so many issues you're dealing with!  No wonder you feel like you're in a rut!

Baby steps, jan........just baby steps......don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Helen, thanks.........

That is a good idea about the care package.  My son would love that.  I haven't been to see my counselor lately, and with the way this week has been, I thought I better get in to see her.  How are you doing these days?

Leanne, Thanks, I'm doin the best I can, one step at a time,  altho some of those steps seem like strides, and it's hard to keep up .  Hope you are taking care of you too.

Hi Ladies........ Well it's coming up on the 2 year mark that my hub was dx'd with cancer, so October is gonna be a tough month to get through and the 2 year mark of his death is in January. So much has been happeing in my personal and my families lives lately, that I don't even know which way is up. I wish my life would settle down, but it seems like that is asking to much. I had the worst period of my life last month, and am waiting for this months to start. I have been on the hormonal roller coaster ride of emotions once again. I am so thankful that I have somewhere to come to and talk about all the things that are on my mind, and having friends here that understand at least part of what I am going through at this time in my life..... Hope you are all taking good care of yourselves, and taking it one day at a time like I am, as it's the best way to get through it all.

Hugs and Prayers to you Jan. tina

Thanks Tina I hope things are going ok for you!

I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you Jan. Thinking of you my friend. Hang in there. Tomorrow, I hope your day is as bright as this sunny yellow.

Hi Jan I just read your posts. I am so sorry to hear about the tough time you are having. My problems seems so small in comparison. Wishing you happiness and strength. You have lots of friends here who truly do care. hugs.....Mary:)

Jan, I hope you find comfort in the good memories of your marriage.

Hi Ladies..... Thanks for your kind words, they mean alot to me. Yesterday marked 2 yrs since he was dx'd. I stayed pretty busy throughout the day so that helped. Last night was a little tougher, but I made it through ok. I haven't been posting much lately as my life has been oh so hectic and never ending family health issues are still happening. When will we ever get a break is beyond me. I have been at the hospital so much the past 2 yrs and so want a break from having to go there. Seems I can never let my guard down, cuz something else happens and I have to rush out of the house to help and be with family members in need. It's wonderful having family tho and I am so blessed to have such a great one. We are all there for each other, which is so important to us all. I just we could all be a little more healthier!! I hope you are all taking care of yourselves. I miss coming here and supporting you all. When or if things calm down around here, I will be back posting on a more regular basis again. Be good to yourselves!
