[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 731986, member: 19522"] You guys are too kind. I feel I owe Cindy an apology. She has come to us feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, in need of respite and help. I am sorry Cindy if I added to that feeling by [I]over sharing. [/I] I was on my walk this morning, remembering being [I]right where you are at[/I] and thinking to myself that you need chicken soup and I came with the whole dang turkey dinner. I am sorry. There were times on this journey, and [I]still are times when I feel the same, exhausted and overwhelmed[/I]. There is no shame in this. We are all in such an intense battle. All at different places along the pathway. Oftentimes, we are so caught up in the day to day tasks, putting on the brave face, we forget to let ourselves feel what we need to feel. So please let me clear off that turkey dinner and start over. Honor your feelings. We are at the frontline in this battle, soldiering on. Soldiers need R and R. Rest and recuperation. It is so important to recognize that we just need rest, and honor that. When things were so so hard with my two, my grands and when hubs passed, some days in my deepest grief it was all I could do to just get out of bed. I felt such a heaviness, a dark cloud hovered over. One of the things I learned here on CD is to slow way down, when those feelings hit hard. Embrace the sadness of it all and process what you are able to. No matter where you are at on this journey, please know that many of us have been in similar situations, and we understand the grief of it. It is hard. So, very hard. My heart goes out to you. Please take care, and take time to heal. (((Hugs))) Leafy Ps. Rn and Recovering, I thank you so very much for your kindness and encouragement. I would not be where I am at without the loving support of my fellow warrior sisters. Much love to you all, for the help you have given me. It is truly a bright light in the darkest of nights.
