So like everyone on this awful journey I’m having good and bad days. Trying to support my parents going through this is hard.
Today I thought was a good day…. Until my husband has walked in from work and gave our 3 year old my dads chain he has wore constantly for many years (as far back as I can remember.)
It has truly knocked the wind out my sails, I’m happy in one way that my dad has given it to him so he knows he has it, but it’s tough as it’s something I didn’t think would be happening now.
Hi Crobin28
I get where you come from - it sometimes seems we steel ourselves for the "big" things but then something comes along out of the blue to sabotage us.
Sometimes the only thing I find works is to take a step back, do the deep breathing bit and then perhaps move back ready for action again. That or go cry in the corner for a while.
<<hugs>>
