Morning folks.

How has your week been? Check in if you have the time.

My Mum has her last session of Chemotherapy this coming Tuesday it's been a real slog for her and fingers crossed it has worked she also has a scan on Tuesday after her Chemo to see if the cancer is gone. She will have a 2 week break then she starts 4 weeks of Radiotherapy. This has taken a big toll and my Dad he has been really worried and he has had a sudden worsen of his Parkinsons so is now at the stage where he needs full time care getting old sucks.

I have now done 8 sessions of CAT therapy (8 to go) and have found it really helpful much better than CBT so I can recommend it. I am having extreme pain in my left big toe I had an Xray and just waiting for the results but the doctor suspects that I have arthritis in the joint. It has been affecting my walking so I have not been able to exercise as much as I would like so that sucks to. Anyway that's enough about me how are you all doing?

Hibee,

Big, big prayers going up for your mum, her final treatment...and great results from her scan! Also thoughts of wellness for your dad! It is my hope that when mom is better things will improve for him as well!

Great work on your ongoing CAT sessions! I am so pleased to hear that you are finding it beneficial...and do keep us updated. This could be something to recommend to members, yes?

I hope that you get answers and a management plan for you foot pain and that you can get back to being active again soon. Sorry you are dealing with this mate!

I have had an intense week. Hubs has been traveling a ton for work, so all the home/kid stuff has been solely in my court lately. Also the band had a show on Thursday night...2 days before my big Spring Recital, which was just Saturday. It all went well...but I was tense, and now my body is sore like I was hit by a truck, lol! So self care to the rescue! I have time off now for a bit...so I am going to rest and restore. smile

Love to all!

Thanks SC

Sounds like you have had a very busy period so I can see why you were tense but pleased to hear you are using your self care to help now it's time for rest and re group.

Hibree, hope your mom is hanging in there and positive thoughts for terrific news.

SC. glad you will get to practice self care.

As for me, trying to climb out of this anxiety hole I have recently fell in. Slow go but day at a time. I work in a daycare and have been sick 3 times in two months and that is not helping. But just taking a step back and practicing breathing, meditation etc that I sometime take for granted while I am feeling good. Positive thoughts welcome.

GF,

Oh man...that's rough to be sick so much....and have the increased anxiety that goes along with illness. My daughter had 3 things in a row as well....the last being strep! It's been a rough season!

Nice that we are now moving out of cold/flu time, yes?

Be well and continue your good coping skills!

Still in intense grief over losing my son
Coroners report was full of inaccuracies and assumptions
Police refuse to give me their report
Does anyone know what type of service I should pursue to have his death investigated
Someone who can validate a bad coroners report and legally obtain the police report?

Having extreme anxiety about what bad thing is going to happen to me next
Thought taking care of my mother from 1200 miles away and then the roller coaster of her last months was the hardest thing I’d ever go through and it was over
Then I lost my son to either a tragic gun accident or suicide
I’m too scared to say this is the worst thing I’ll ever go thru
It was ruled suicide but nothing adds up
I’ve been through every bit of his belongings and there was no darkness found
The day it happened he had pleasant exchanges with friends and plans to go out that night
He had put his dinner in the oven
Finding out it was an accident won’t bring him back but would take 1000 lbs off my shoulders
I can’t believe he would do this to me
I dread Mother’s Day

WRAS,

I am so so sorry to hear about the sudden and tragic loss of your son. I often don't get a chance to participate in the Weekly Check Ins...so I missed when you first posted about him.

I have no words that can come close to comforting you right now. But know that I care, am thinking of you and that you are in my prayers.

I do hope that you get the answers that would bring you some feeling of peace.

Know that we care and are supporting you through this most difficult time.

I’m so glad I heard from you SC
I didn’t realize you don’t log in much to the weekly
Today I called my employee assistance number and talked to the legal dept
I can have a free consultation and 25% off normal fees with 3 lawyers in the area
Next week.....
I have to get through this weekend first
Posted 5/11/2019 3:40 AM (GMT 0)
Yeah, we have church and family gatherings on Sunday...so I just tend to check in for urgent posts on that day...again, I am sorry I missed your post.

Great news regarding the legal help if it comes down to you needing it.

This weekend will of course be rough. Check in as much as you care to and feel free to e-mail me if feel the need.

(((((my thoughts are with you)))))

My son daughter in law spent the night here
It was so much easier to get out of bed with my little ray of sunshine here
Gramps made us all sausage and pancakes
Not as bad a day as I thought it would be

Got thru Mother's Day but it really triggered intense grief for the days to follow.
Just took a Xanax to guarantee sleep tonight. Of course they make me snore which will bother my husband; unable to sleep with his own grief.
Last night he had gone out in the livingroom and I could swear that I woke up with that punch in my stomach that my son is no longer in this world and I was laying there trying to calm myself down and I was telling myself- You can't change things, he's gone and you have to accept it and go on. I kind of have felt a sense of peace. Then I heard him shouting and I thought he was sick in pain and I called out- What's the matter? He yelled will you stop snoring I can't take listening to it! Uggh this really sucks.

These types of experiences do happen to us. Keep up your coping skills when ya can. It is still raw, grieving is a process of various elements that effect us differently and in various ways.

Know the community is here. Keep posting. Healing thoughts i send. May peace envelope you. HT.
