Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I hear you - I don't get used to it either. When we love and care about someone, it will ALWAYS be painful when we have to see them suffer or lose them - and that we know is inevitable.
I will be thinking of you and your mom tomorrow!
Thank you for answering me.
I have been there several times before... But I just can't get used to it. Some years ago, doctors thought she had a lung cancer and luckily it was not. Then with a suspected bowel infarction.
I shall not put a bandage on my head before breaking it as we say in Italy... But it is hard...
I'm sorry that the doctor has told you something is wrong in regards to your mom's back x-rays wanting to see you in the morning instead of Monday. I know you're scared to find out what's wrong - I've been there too with my dad.
I'll pray that God will give you peace and strength to face tomorrow and whatever news the doctor has to tell you.
"Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you" 1 Peter 5:7
Been thinking of you and your dad/family today. It always seems like after sleeping the first night (even if it's only sleeping for a short time) when the morning comes, it's a strange feeling.
Continued prayers -
That was heartbreaking about your dad aging "20 years in less than a day" - extra, extra prayers being sent your way!
Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you and your family with your mom passing away this morning. I'm glad you had time to sit with her yesterday. I pray for God's peace to be with all of you as you begin the grieving process.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" Psalm 147:3
Your are in my thoughts and prayers..
May you and your family find the strength to face this sorrowful moment.
May God give your mom and family comfort and peace during this difficult time.
I think that you are blessed to have an understanding of what is going on, it is sad, scary, overwhelming and a thousand other emotions, so having an idea of what to expect is one less thing to deal with.
May God give you comfort during this very difficult time as you wonder if your mom will make it through the night.
I'll be thinking of you and praying for your whole family!!
No, you were right using "freaking out" - that's what it means. I just had said I knew it was upsetting and then just requoted how it made "you" feel.
That's excellent that you are getting a lot out of your fitkarate classes. It helps you to get out all the negative feelings and yet you're finding relaxation through it at the same time. I've always said if someone is going to do any form of exercise that works or you can be consistent with, it has to be something you enjoy and can do otherwise as you figured out with pilates it didn't work and you won't stick with it!
Keep it up! You need it to help yourself and if you add that day trip on a Sunday that will help you all the more.
I have learnt the expression freak out watching Netflix series in English... Maybe I got it wrong: I thought it meant something like scared me a lot.
I do think going back to fitkarate classes is helping me a lot. Punching and kicking the bag is somehow really relaxing for me. I tried pilates but it didn't work so well.
I don't have a favorite place but I am lucky : I live only 35km far from Venice.
About meals, maybe lasagne? But I am a "good fork" as we say in Italian : I enjoy good food! Italian, Swiss, Indian, Japanese etc. Etc
What is your Italian favorite meal?
Glad you are doing better.
Do you have a favorite place in Italy? What’s your favorite meal? Italian food is the best!
Then you must have a "family forest" instead of a "family tree!" :)
Glad your situation with your mum isn't as bad but, perfectly normal to feel stressed out when they do "strange" things. It's upsetting I know or as you put it "freaking you out."
Take care of yourself and your family!
