Rough Day

This week-end I moved Frostina (my daughter) and her kids into their own home. The first time they have been together on their own in a year and a half. That year and a half was spent with me careing for them. I knew it would be rough, but I didn't know it would leave me in such pain and so depressed. I don't know how to be a person in my own right any longer and now I find that that is what I am. I am not a guardian, a power of attourney, a grandma Mom, a caregiver, ect, ect, ect. I am just me and I don't know what that is or who I am. What do I do with my life and with me now? I feel lost in limbo. Do you think now might be the time for some therapy? I know this will all pass in time, but for now it is horrible. I just thank God that I have all of you to rely on and turn to for support. Hazel

It's time to rebuild and conquor!! From your posts here's some ideas..... The WLS support group The work out team of people Your church The restaurant Community service These are all things you've mentioned over the past 2 years so hope it helps spur some ideas. Is there a way you can professionally work in an environment that helps women move out of difficult situations? Many not for profits could use someone with experience and strength as you have. Plan time with the kids so they see you on a very regular schedule. It's important to them that you continue to play a consistant role in their lives. Regardless of who lives where, you are the voice of reason that will most shape those lovely kids. Therapy is fun, too - for one hour 'it's all about ME' = Good luck in your new ventures!!! ~Tiffany

Dear Hazel: You will realize that you have plenty of opportunities to do something of your life. You are a strong, valuable woman. It must be hard to fing yourself alone after all the responsability you had caring for you daughter and grand children. Here you have my support. What ever you need to say you will find me in my email [email protected] I will be allways available for you... Alex

Hazel, maybe you could take a nice hot bubble bath !!!!!!!! Tori

Hazel You are you! A WONDERFUL SEXY WOMAN ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING OUT! Everyday will get a little easier! I promise...... hugs, Chris

It's time to FINALLY make time for Hazel! Take a bubble bath, take a nap. Go for a walk (when the weather warms up a bit) and yes, maybe find a therepist you can connect with who can help you shift through all the STUFF you've been through the past year and 1/2. But most importatnly take the time to be good to YOU! You so deserve it. Sending many hugs, Ronna

I'd try a therapist, it couldn't hurt... other than that take the time for you and see what you like to do again!!! Take a trip? Volunteer work? Some classes at the university? even maybe a cooking class etc could be fun? I just wish I could give you a big squishy hug!!! Renee
