Due to husbands health problems prostrate cancer stage 9 , turps, radiation, 3 years hormone therapy, last infection hopefully spring 2025 - we had enforced retirement at the age of 67 and 69
I needed a good self care routine so I could care for him and keep myself well.
The routine I use is still serving me perfectly and I would like you all to know that from being a frightened wreck in 2019 I am now at peace, full of joy and these are the tools I used.

Gary roe grief books, (Amazon)
He is a grief specialist and his zoom sessions and courses have been so helpful for me.
I walk daily, no matter the weather,
early to bed, and I now sleep sounder than ever.
Eating carefully, Mediterranean diet,Drinking a lot of water.
I listen to my body, if I feel a bit triggered, prodded by someone else’s behaviour I concentrate on my breathing, making sure I breathe out for a longer period than my in breath.
In through the nose and out through the mouth,slowly.
my bad cholesterol is down, good cholesterol up, don’t need statins,blood pressure is now normal.
Because I am well I can help my husband with his low mood( when he has a low mood)which is caused by the hormones and health scare etc.
I wish you all well, will be thinking of you all, we are all suffering, we need tools to help us cope.
Not drink and drugs,
Positive things like walking along the sea front or in the park, or a country walk,
Also, top priority, do not play into the drama by becoming a victim.
At this moment, this present moment, all is ok, I am warm, fed,and truly grateful.
