Jeff...thanks for reminding me that being the caregiver is the EASY part. Being a two-time breast cancer survivor myself, I can remember when my quest against 'the beast' began..all I wanted to do was cry and beat the wall and run screaming, 'why me..what did I ever do that was SO bad that I deserve THIS?'
I made up my mind that I would allow myself FIVE MINUTES every day to just be 'mad as hell', and cry with the aches and pain and utter frustrations of it all. Some days, I STILL do that!
Go ahead and let it out...many here can personally relate to what you're feeling.
Thank you for revealing to me what Buzz REALLY means when he says 'it just hurts'...
