    (((hugs))) That's some great advice from pilate and claireack. I wish that we could help shoulder your burden chiqui. You and your family are all in my thoughts. Lots and lots and lots of healing vibes being sent your way.
    Having a place to just vent is a big help for sure, I appreciate the ear you all provide! Thanks for all the thoughts and healing vibes, we can sure use it.

    Tomorrow will be weird, I'm going in to work in the morning and folks in the lab are taking me out for a birthday lunch which should be nice. But then we have the meeting at 2pm with the palliative folks at the hospital. After which we're laying down the gauntlet with our family to basically either put up or shut up...come out and see her, or fuck off. They really should have been here months ago, or two years ago when she was in the hospital for 9 months. Oh well, I guess we'll see how that goes anyway.

    I guess that's life for you, balance of good stuff and crap. And everyone's trying to make my birthday feel special but it's getting hard to get into the swing of it, I dunno. For now I'm just hoping I can finally fall asleep. I either want to sleep in the middle of the day or not sleep at all at night, all screwed up!


    *hugs*

    it DOES put life in perspective, absolutely.
    all the shit, helps you focus more on the good stuff....and appreciate it when it, finally, comes back around.
    hope some happiness is on it's way to you chica.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Yeah I'm down for some good stuff, any morsel of it! I'm trying to stay chipper this morning, and just be grateful that I"ll have another birthday to celebrate, despite everything going on. That's been the hard part with all this, keeping balanced and not forgetting my own existence in the middle of everything. It seems really easy to get swallowed up, and I don't want to be.

    chiqui, I'm so sorry...{{{BIG HUGS}}}

    I just want to let you know, we are here for you. Sometimes it's easier to talk things out...write about how you feel. Create something to keep your mind busy. Thing like this are never easy, but just remember, you are loved.
    Pleas let us know if we can do something for you.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    You are still very much in my thoughts, along with your family, during this difficult time. Just try to get through day by day, or hour by hour, however you can best cope.

    Thanks so much everyone for your kindness.

    My mother is finally at peace, she passed away at 10:11am this morning. The pain I'm feeling is so overwhelming, but I have no choice but to stay strong. We have family flying in tonight and we are blessed to have a lot of love around us for support.

    Just feels weird with it being my birthday too :(
