Emotionally spent

[fallen_leaf]

So the day the Doctor tells us to start considering hospice they move my mom to a rehabilitation center. After 24 hours she is at the ER and they have to intubate her and now it looks like the tube may not be coming out or if it does it’ll just be a few days. So we kids are decided. It’s just getting my dad on board. It was his sister my aunt who passed away July 31 after months in hospital and now my mom....too much in one year too close together. I haven’t even had time to finish wrapping up my aunts estate.

It really is all too much to bear fallen_leaf, first your aunt and now your dear mom. You now need to gather all your strength ready for what you know is to come.

I hope you can get your dad on board and support each other throughout this terrible ordeal.

I’m thinking of you all at this very sad and difficult time. Sending love and strength. Xxxx

Thinking of you,(hate autocorrect )

Hi Oshkosh,

Oh yes, I hate autocorrect with a passion. It’s embarrassed me on so many occasions. 😩

Did you know there’s a way to edit your posts after posting them?

if you notice that auto-correct has ‘helped’ you after you’ve already posted your reply, there’s a ‘More’ tab that appears next to ‘Reply’, at the end.

Tapping that will bring up a short list of options, and the first is ‘Edit’. You can then tap on edit, make your correction, and just tap ‘post’ again.

This has saved my bacon on many occasions when either autocorrect has gone mad, or I’ve typed in something unbelievably silly.

Sending good wishes, (that’s right autocorrect, not good 🧙‍♀️ 🧙‍♀️ 🧙‍♀️ WITCHES)

Hi fallen_leaf,

I know there aren’t any words that can really bring comfort to you. You are going through a period of intense emotional stress which isn’t avoidable. Life is always extremely unpredictable and sometimes when it sends a hurricane, all you can do is to hang on, wait for it to pass and then deal with its aftermath.

So, just sending warmest wishes for you to be able to hang on to anything that’s solid to get you through it. Often that’s family, so I hope you can all be there for each other and, with your dad, decide on the best way to weather the storm.

Thinking of you.
