I was the caregiver and I cry at the drop of a hat too. I mean..it's just life. We are meant to be caring, compassionate people and we feel others pain almost as much as we feel our own. But in the quiet times when it's just you and yourself, give yourself permission to mourn a way of life you lost, but then face today and celebrate being alive!!
Life will NEVER be the same for any of us, but I know for Kevin it is sometimes so different he's just plain angry. There are times he shuts down and we talk it out or he handles while he's at work in Alaska and his evenings are quiet.
I worry about things and have had sickness after sickness so am needing to learn to get the worry under control. It's really not helping my immune system as I'm sure our Erik would tell me!!
Take a deep breath when it gets too heavy and, yes, I have found I can have a real potty mouth sometimes and like I've said in the past, crying in the shower seems to help!! ;-)
Blessings,
Kathy
