I have all the fabric i need and right now i have the time. I just need to clear my head and get back to what i love, but i am blocked. Today is the first day i have been actually looking at all the posts trying to get inspired. How do you move on and back to your old self????
I know what you are going through. My mother(she's 89) and a 25yr cancer surivor has been told she has cancer again that has moved to lymph gland, and because of her age its not a treatable cancer. They will be doing a cat scan to just how involved the cancer is.
A few years ago my father passed away and it was six weeks or so before I felt like I doing much of anything. So when we got the news about my mother, I felt distracted and couldn't get interested in what I had been working on. Then it acquired to me that maybe I was in a grieving process much like what I had experienced when my father passed away.
It's not taken as long as it did and I'm thankful that I recognized the symptoms and was able to say to myself, its okay and you will get through this. And hopefully, the cat scan will show that the cancer was only in the one gland that was removed. Its almost like taking one day at a time and not letting the hows' and mights' that are in the future control me.
Things are more or less back to normal now, more like a normal range! I know things may change but I feel a little more prepared( I think I am!!!) but I'm just concentrating on what I can do today and God will take care of the rest. Without that faith in Him, I know things would be alot harder to face. Chris
