@Taylor27 you did that right!

It sounds like you have a good self care routine. Keep up the good work and don't let it slip.

Letting go is the hardest thing I have ever done. I always thought of grieving as something you do after someone dies but as it turns out there is something called anticipatory grief where we start grieving when we realize someone we really care about is not going to get better. It is not something you can tell most people about because they are afraid of death and grieving.

My partner is not going to ever be how they were before. I just hope they will not decline really fast, but even if they do I try not to dwell on the loss but what we still have today. A gratitude journal has been a big help. What do I have to be thankful for today.
