Hello all.

I'm still pretty new to this and most official guidance seems to be to try to be present and to live in the moment. 

I have to admit to finding this really hard. Does anyone have any tips? I want me, my partner and family to still enjoy things as much as possible. But every time we do anything I can't stop thinking "this might be the last time we do x". Or when I see her at her happiest, usually with grandchildren, I can't help feel an overwhelming (in the truest meaning of the word) sense of pity and deep sadness when I look on.

I don't want to feel like this as I'm not bringing my best self to her but not sure quite how to overcome the feelings. I do try some breathing exercises most days but that is work in progress and isn't helping much at the moment.
