Here is your hug from me...( )


now, as MRSD said, but without her wonderful sense of civility and tact .....here is what else you need....

A kick in the behind.....

You can not focus on this disease....you MUST, absolutely MUST distract yourself.

We all go thru periods of wallowing....I have. I still do. But nothing is as helpful as distraction....I too focus on my children, grandchildren, my small farm, my pets...and I am mindful that I can only inflict so much misery on my husband before he tells me to 'take a hike' and not in the literal sense.

Suffering is draining to others. It multiplies itself. It rubs off on others, even psychotherapists.

Here is another hug ( )....and a cold compress for where I kicked your butt....You can get thru this!
