had a real long (overdue i think) chat with helen last night - stayed up to 3am
my poor darling d-in-law ....... she was just saying how awful she has been feeling
how sometimes she wants to run away .....how sometimes shes ok then the next minute she wants to hide under her duvet ......etc etc
i do understand - i do know because ive had the same feelings - sometimes still do
shes sorting out doctors appoinments - dentists etc for paul n the kids - i said she really must go see gp herself and ask for help - she sees it as a weakness - said her mum is/was always strong and coped with everything - i pointed out that when her mum was 30 something she never had to go through what she has gone through this last year +
ive also for the umteenth time asked her to come on here - talk to some other wives- partners in a similar position - said to her she is "normal" to feel the way she does
hopefully she will listen and come along for the help she needs
she told me paul is going to fone macmillan and "talk" to someone himself
about blooming time ........................ oh well i didnt ramble on too much did i?
bet you all wonder what the eck im going on about ................. but as we say better out than in eh? ........just read this back and i think i sound completely NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIVESTRONG ....... sometimes its a struggle!!!
looking forward to wednesday - my paul is coming home :) i just want to hug him xoxo
