Regina, that is so tough – so much loss and sadness, and in such a short time. You must be aching and empty, and emotionally exhausted. What are you doing to take care of yourself? I hope knowing we are here for you brings you some comfort. Please let us know how you are. I’ll be thinking of you. Toni
Coco was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in April & my mom was diagnosed with dementia in May. I am existing. I don’t have time to do anything for myself. We have several people off this week at work – so I’m having to be strong & show up at work.
It’s hard to sleep, because Coco used to sleep with me. I see where she used to lay in the house- it’s so hard.
I know Coco is happy to be with her momma Joy again.
Oh Regina, my girl slept tucked under my chin every night and when she died I was fortunate to have a stuffed cat that I tucked in. Obviously that’s not a replacement but it sure helped me.
Geez, it seems like dark clouds really do “gather” and come in groups. I am so sorry for what you are going through, and you WILL go through it all, but it’s wearying on every level for you now. Please, try to take some moments for yourself – to grieve but also to find a bit of joy or humor. We’re here. Keep reaching out to us, and know I am thinking of you.
Thank you! I spent the night in the ER with Mom last night- she fell & busted her nose open requiring stitches.
How is your Mom doing, Regina? How are you holding up?
Mom is doing fine. I’m exhausted. I’m working and trying to keep things going & now a energetic you dog added in the mix is more stress but sometimes I do get a laugh
Oh Regina, you have got to make a ew moments for yourself. I do know that is easier said than done, but we don’t want you to get sick – you can’t be a help to anyone then. Good to hear about your Mother. It’s nice you still have her. But it’s hard. And caring for pets is a big responsibility. Can you get someone to give you hand or a break? Please, keep us posted. Thinking about you.
Toni – I know I should take care and time for myself. Right now, if I slow down memories hit me & I can’t stop crying- then I’m no good for anyone. I have PTSD & it’s in overdrive now but I let my dachshunds help me by sitting in my lap or giving me kisses.
Crying is exhausting but serves an important purpose – carrying toxins out of our system (similar to perspiration). You have so much piled on right now, and you are doing a great job moving forward. Let your pups help you the way you are helping so many others. And if you can find someone to give you a hand, that would be a help. We’re here for you. {{HUG}}
