Thank you again Nicole. I do have a tip for the forum that might be helpful. I found that when I finally got some dreaded tasks done

my anxiety decreased significantly. I think the effects of longterm caregiving needs attention. It's probably on mark that people can get PTSD from caregiving. Thank you for letting me share.

I'm doing okay still going through that storage closet and deciding what to donate and what stays..It's been keeping me busy as this is the 3rd or 4th collection for the Vietnam Vets..I will be preparing the St. Patricks' Day dinner for my daughters who visit daily and perhaps my sister will come..This is a yearly ritual and my husband always enjoyed getting together with our oldest son and grandson for a toast served in Irish shot glasses, hopefully it will be done this year in his memory...He too enjoyed the Irish fare and I usually make Irish Soda bread ...It will be a bittersweet day for all of us...

It put a smile on my face reading your note to me. 😊 Yesterday I got a call from my friend in Spokane and that lifted my spirits. Also a counselor from the cemetery sent me a note asking how I am doing. It means so much to me to have contact with people that care and remember me. My grandson (the son of my son that died) is coming home from college for Spring Break and I want to be STRONG in his presence. He, as well as my remaining son have yet to deal with all of the deaths that have happened in our family and I feel bad that I am not strong enough to help them. I WANT to be strong and move forward. I am really trying. Thank You for remembering me.

1 comment(3/17/23),🕯Commit to taking it one step at a time so that you do not try to accomplish too much at once. When you try to take on too much, you place yourself in danger of becoming overwhelmed. Take on less than you think you can handle and only take on more when you are completely ready.

Very good suggestions. It's easy to get overwhelmed. As if maybe it would remove the pain. I think the key is to stay busy. Getting some daily tasks done. Which brings a feeling of satisfaction. Then see what I get to tomorrow.

3 comments(3/17/23) My challenge "right now" is = it is the dreaded weekend AGAIN and wishing I was in Florida with my "only" child. With so many loved ones gone 😭, I want to spend as much time with my daughter. HOPING next year 2024 will be MY year to move back there. 🙃 I luv you ALL so much, Nicole 🤎🤗

I hope you can connect with your daughter in some way this weekend - phone, video call, or even Email. Maybe you can connect with a friend too to get you through the weekend! Thinking of you and hoping the weekend turns out to be something more positive than you anticipate! 🙂

Thank You Nicole! I actually have been quite busy this week. I had been on a couple of wait lists and finally got into a bereavement group. I have things going on with my chorus and a community committee that I am a part of and I have gotten out to do some physical activities. All good things!

I hope you are doing well.
