I am so sorry about your Mom. I lost both my parents to cancer. It is so difficult. You are so blessed to have this time with her. And to have been able to tell her everything you may have wanted to and to be there for her.
I am also sorry about your job. I know how difficult it is to struggle so much financially.
I have a lot of tough things I struggle with. I try really hard to look at the good things in my life.
And you have many, Tad. You have your sons and your health. And I am sure you can think of others.
I wrote on my thread how I feel when I start to feel as if things are tough. You have to make a decision to dig in a bit more, Tad. It's really all you can do.
Sometimes when things get as bad as they can, it is a catalyst for change.
Do you take anything for your anxiety? I am not saying that is for everyone or the answer for it. But, it can help you get over the bad spots for awhile.
Do you have people you can talk to? That is so important.
