Very introspective, things are difficult

Well, last week was very busy and nothing seemed to go as planned. Everything took much more work, time and energy than I had. By Friday evening I was completely exhausted, but was looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. When I got home, I spent a little time winding down then got some very bad news. My mother passed away last week. I knew that she wasn't in very good health but was still taken by surprise. We were not close but she was the only mom I had and now she is gone. I haven't seen her for a long time and didn't get a chance to tell her goodbye. She passed away at home, alone and was found on the floor.

Right now I just feel very lonely and sad. It was a very rough weekend and I feel like I need to make some changes in my life. I need to focus on being happy and healthy and making sure my children know they are loved.

I know this isn't probably the place to share all this, but I just felt it might help me. Thanks for listening.

Priscilla

I am so sorry for your loss Priscilla. It doesn't matter if you were close or not, she was your mother. I knew when you called me last night, something happened, but I didn't want to call back right away because you didn't sound as if you wanted to share. Big hugs to you darling! I'm so sorry you are going through this, but glad you feel comfortable enough to come to us. If I can do anything, please let me know.


You mentioned needing to make changes now in your life.

((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))) Priscilla-


I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with this. And to know you never got to say goodbye. I lost my Mom to colon cancer this past May and it was hard. Although we all saw it coming and knew it was coming- it's still hard. I can't imagine finding out about something like this in such a sudden way. (((((((((hugs)))))))))))


And of course you can come to the board with things like this. Vent/examine anything you need to with us! Prayers are going out for you and your family.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I go through periods where I am fine and then times when I am not.

You all are very supportive.
