It seems with all of the turmoil in your life, you have had to become a different person to cope with the situation. Could it be you miss you? Could it be you miss the consistency of your "regular" life's craziness? <BR/><BR/>Six years ago my father-in-law suddenly died. My kids were 4 and 8 months old. Two weeks after his death, my mother-in-law found out she had breast cancer. Double mastectomy, 15+ lymphnodes removed, numerous chemo treatments. Nightmare for everyone. I remember feeling as if my body was humming, buzzing all the time from my nerves. Nothing seemed real, yet everything hurt so much. I was so busy doing, going, taking care that I lost myself. At that point I didn't even exercise. Oh how I wish I had had that. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I don't mean to ramble. I hope you can find some piece of yourself through all of this and hold onto it. Do what YOU need to do at least once a week and DON'T feel guilt about it. You can't be any good to anyone else if you're not good to yourself.Amy Jurrenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299268097065662407noreply@blogger.com
