A conversation

‘Everything feels out of kilter at the moment.’

‘I know.’

‘Your father’s dying, the baby – who has struggled to put on any weight in the last five months – is now losing weight and is increasingly miserable, the dog is wasting away before our eyes, I’m getting absolutely no sleep. Everything feels wrong.’

‘I know.’

‘I wish I knew how to change things.’

‘Things will get better, you’ll see.’

‘But only after they’ve got worse first.’

‘Yes.’

I really, really hope they don’t get worse first. Much love to you and yours.

When my mom died last December, I felt the same way. The sadness in our house was overwhelming – I don’t remember if it got worse, but I do know this…one year later things are better. Not great, but better.

I hope you can find some optimism amongst all this icky stuff! I’m so sorry.

Hang in there. It sounds like a really awful time for you. Hugs and best wishes for you, dad, and baby.
