Bless your heart ~ Of course you're overwhelmed! That would be too much for anyone. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. And now with your Mother's diagnosis, I'm sure you're projecting what is going to happen down the line ~ TRY to stay just in today because that's all we have anyway.

I'm glad you're in therapy. Perhaps your therapist has some advice & tricks on how to stay in the here and now. We cannot look towards tomorrow as we aren't even PROMISED tomorrow. And of course we NEVER look at yesterday, because that's gone. It will never return. All we have is today - and we don't want to screw that up. LOL

Try to think of yourself now and then too -- you're going thru the grieving process and you must be kind and patient with yourself. Treat yourself like you would a friend who was going thru the same thing. Make sure you eat properly & get PLENTY of rest. Take care and God bless. Hugs, Lee
