Thanks for the support folks. Today has been a struggle.Gawdalmighty I miss Mom. We are told that it gets easier as time passes. Ain't happenin'.

I woke up to dog poop all over the house. My aging Lab has lost control of his bowels. I won't go into details and gross anyone out. Suffice to say I spent half an hour cleaning before I left for work. I wasn't sure he would still be with us when I got home tonight he was in such bad shape this morning. He's still here, but is continuing to fade.

While at work I got a call from a mutual friend of the friend with cancer. The doctors are saying she has hours or days to live. I feel surrounded by the dead and dying.

Tried drawing last night. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to scan the pictures and post them here. I felt a little release when I finished the drawing last night. Going to try again tonight.

Am still feeling flattened, but maybe that's not a bad thing. It beats hurting.

Waggiedog, you make a good point about the difference between taking care of myself and isolating. I worry when I start to withdraw from the world because I'm afraid of slipping into depression.
