it's so hard to hear the words "he is checked out". it sounds like you're saying that there is no hope. i'm looking for a sign that says it can be saved.
yes, it is hard to deal with. but i'm doing things i enjoy. meditation, a new exercise program they have helped not only occupy my time but ease the anxiety.
i'm also learning to enjoy my own space. i get to decorate it the way i want to. the MIL used to decorate my house b/c she was just trying to help. my home never felt like my home
i want to save my M. actually no, i don't want my old M. i want to reconcile to a new M. one that incorporates the new changes in our lives.
i am hoping that our separation time involves self-reflection. at least, that is what i am doing.
you gotta realize that when the parents die, who is goig to be there? why can't they figure this out?
