Great advice...
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand!
That was lovely. I do though, find at times I am so doubtful that I do need advice from Family, Friends or even a good self-help book. I usually end up doing what I want but the brain storming does help. A shoulder to cry on is also the best medicine sometimes. I sure hope you have some support to help you with your decision making and also arms to hug you when needed.
ReplyDeleteI pushed everybody away. EVERYBODY. I deeply regret that I did that. I didn't want anybody to try to make me feel better. I understand now-that they were just trying to help me. I do have some good self-help books that are helping me. I have our 3 children that have their-difficult days-situations-that they need their dad. I still have my mom and dad. I can't imagine my life without my parents. Even though they live 500 miles away, we drive up to Ohio at least 3 times a year and talk almost everyday. I wish we lived closer to my parents.
ReplyDeleteMarlene you are the Lucky one there...my Dad died 30 years ago and my Mon is in a Nursing Home with ALZ. Somedays she knows me and some days she doesn't. I visit her daily and I do so wish I could just talk to my Mom and not this victim of ALZ. Believe me, we all have our crosses to bear.
ReplyDeleteMimi and Grampy - your message put things in perspective. I am soo sorry about the loss of your dad, 30 years ago - I am soo sorry. I am so sad to hear about your mom. You are an amazing daughter-and I hear your pain-in your message. You are so right. I am lucky. I still have my parents. I wish I lived closer to them. They are in their 80's and have health issues.I hope to visit them next month.
ReplyDeleteI hear you-we all have our crosses to bear.
I'm thinking maybe my blog is the wrong place to share my personal feelings. Maybe I will shut it down and start a journal. I am truely sorry for your challenges- mimi and Grampy.
