I need some support please. I am so stressed about everything that I have been hitting my arm. First was slaps, now I hit it, because I am so frustrated and angry that it has to come out. I need help please
You, Chris and Will are in my thoughts. Have put in a friend request on private messaging if you feel you can let us know how you are all coping though I am sure you are time restrained as you care for Chris and the family. Be kind to yourself and take care. Hugs. Jules x
Jules, Deano and Dunanat1, I'm sorry I've been so quiet, things have been hard here but to come on the forum and see messages from you guys makes me realise just how important and special you all are and how much strength you can give me. Thank you so much xx
No apologies required as caring takes every ounce of strength you can muster and spare time is precious. I really hope you have been getting support from family, friends and Chris's medical team. I expect Will has just returned to school following the Easter break and hopefully will receive support there too (my grandson's school was very good during my hubby's illness and picked up on changes of mood which they talked through with my daughter) which can be very helpful.
I am pleased you find reading the forum posts supportive and it's here when you feel the need to offload/chat. Sending bigs hugs and I will keep you, Chris and your family in my thoughts. It's hard but remember to look after yourself too. Jules xx
Hi Mandy. Don't apologise you just keep looking after Chris and try to keep strong. Just wanted to know u are all in my thoughts. Take care of yourself as u need all the strength of body and mind to deal with everything. We are here if and when needed. Take care x
I'm doing well now Mandy. I'm getting on with life now. Still think of Ali a lot but come to realise I can't sit around moping all the time. I keep myself busy but don't get down very often now. She wouldn't want me to just sit around etc. Hope your coping with everything and Chris has some quality of life. I know exactly what you are going through and it is horrible. Just stay strong Mandy there is nothing else I can say. You and your family are in my thoughts regular and my heart goes out to each of you xx
Look forward to seeing the finished article. We had a lovely start to the day yesterday but downhill with plenty of rain in the afternoon. This morning is once again lovely though chilly and I will venture out to the gym shortly. Before and after pics of kitchen (think I posted them on my own thread too though probably have bored my forum buddies somewhat with my enthusiasm ha ha). Think you can guess which is which. Will PM later.
