Penny, Honey, I'm so sorry. I know how painful this is for you. Like we have discussed before I'm an only child also. I think that makes it doubly worse. My mom died 12 years ago and my dad lives out of state. I thank God daily for my wonderful friends, but I try not to burden them too much. Thank goodness for all of you on here.
I know it is so hard to be strong. Everyone tries to be supportive but unless they have been trough it they can't imagine it. Don't feel bad about whining, we are here to listen. I certainly have my poor pitiful me days. I believe the hardest part about this is feeling alone. I've never been alone in my whole life. I went from my parent's house, to college, to being married. I'm sure your cirmcumstances are similar. I have my DDs and they are definitely a blessing but I try hard to not to lean on them. They are young and thankfully have their friends. I don't want them to babysit mom. I know this is long but I just wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one who has pity parties. I'm here for you. Email sometime if you would like klr1504@cebridge.net.
Hugs, Kim
