That sounds really hard...it's really challenging (to say the least) to take care of sick relatives and it's really challenging to deal with family of origin stuff and the combo can really take it out of you.

The weekend is coming up...can you do something nice for yourself? Do you get a break from caring for mom this weekend? It is SO IMPORTANT to take time to care ourselves when we are taking care of someone else.

I hope you get lots of rest this weekend. And maybe if you know you have another week like this coming up, you could go ahead and schedule that extra appointment. That would be a great way to take care of yourself.

Take gentle care of YOU.
