Regressing

[Kathys1964]

I’ve been trying to move pass for this missing my daughter. We talk everyday even if it’s a quick text but I want more and I know that’s unreasonable I have to let her live her life I get it. I just hate it. Being in this house all alone is really getting to me I’ve been without my medicine for over three months (because of insurance and a new job) I’m not going to try anymore..I just can’t but I know I have too. It’s just to painful and this quarantine business doesn’t help at all.

Sorry for what you're going through. Is there anything at all that can be done about your medicine? Any organisations that can help?

[Kathys1964 in reply to Mary-intussuception]

Not that I know of. I won’t be able to get insurance with my new job until May

[Mary-intussuception in reply to Kathys1964]

That's so bad. I wondered if some organisation like the Red Cross or an out going Church/Chapel might be able to help.

Do you have a garden? What's the weather like there?

[Kathys1964 in reply to Mary-intussuception]

Is nice. Little chilly. No I don’t have a garden

[Mary-intussuception in reply to Kathys1964]

That's a pity, you could have put this time to good use in the garden.

Sorry you are feeling lonely. I also get it about your daughter! I missed my daughter so much when she went away to college. I had to learn new "routines" then and NOW with this pandemic!

For example, I have been practicing this hand washing "routine". I say the Lord's Prayer while looking in the mirror (20 seconds When done, I look at my open palms and think of Christ's palms and "He has paid the price. He has this under control." Then I do NOT touch my face because my mouth, eyes, and ears need to be open. I ASK with my mouth, "What can I do to help in this situation?" and LOOK with my eyes and LISTEN with my ears for the "answers."

When I follow the "answers", life has been less anxious and I appreciate that I am not suffering like many. The "answers" have been: call our children and see how they are doing, send homemade cookies to the grandkids, call my mom who is in indedpendent living in another state, etc. I am learning to figure out my own little part in helping.

Hope this helps and you are feeling better today!!

Hope this helps!
