Phew, that's so hard. I so understand that. We're so used to taking care of others and they are so used to us taking care of them that we might feel like we can't do anything else.

I'm sorry your friend is grieving but I'm glad you guys could have some laughs.

What I've had to slowly do is step away and let my family do things on their own. Growing hurts but sometimes it's necessary. Sometimes I will tell them, I just need an hour here without demands. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't due to their demands, but I keep trying. Perhaps you could even just go for a drive or a walk, be out of the house, stroll through a store and window shop, go get a coffee and read a book.

Hang in there jinny. I'm glad we can support you.
