Thanks Lavie, for your comments. I do try to do other acitivites besides caregiving. That does help a lot. I always take some time for myself in the morning also-mostly doing my devotions.

Sharon, I am so sorry for what you are experiencing. How do you deal with the sadness? That’s a tough one. In my case, my person is my mother, not a spouse. However, I started doing activities that have nothing to do with caregiving. That helps considerably. Give yourself a hug from me!

Hi Sharon–It sounds like you giving yourself yourself just what you need. And, perhaps Mother Nature cooperated, giving you time to just be. I’m also enjoying the voting–it is fun.

Sharon…your story once again touched my heart. My husband is my life and I cannot imagine what this must be like to be going through. You truly are a very special person. You somehow find a way to brighten everyones day. I hope you know each night when you put your head on your pillow to finally attempt some rest that you can feel contentment in the fact that you always make positive choices and that your presence is making the world a nicer place to be. I wish I could comfort you with more than words. You are a special person…you truly are a gift!! I pray your son finds another job soon..keep us posted….

Thanks, Denise and Linda, I appreciate your kind comments.
Today was a quiet and rather uneventful day-kind of nice actually. We are getting a lot of snow today. It was pretty watching the snow come down. I am listening to some of my favorite music Cds tonight. The words of the songs are a great comfort. It is fun watching the results of the contest coming in, Denise.

I sure can relate to your sadness, and it’s difficult to pull yourself out of it. I turned to my computer and played scrabble, and other games, when my husband didn’t need me at that moment. It didn’t make me happy but it allow me to cope somewhat and relieve some of the stress. Been where you are it’s not easy.

Hi Sharon–Oh, I’m so sorry. What a tough day. I’m so glad you told us about your husband and your son–I think the telling is a start to dealing with the sadness. The hard part about sadness, I think, is that it can really last. Ugh! So, please know that you are loved, that we will wipe your tears, that we will keep the faith with you that blessings continue to come every day. Let us know how you are tomorrow…
