First, accept a whole bunch of condolences, hugs, prayers, good vibes and love from all your friends here, my dear. Breathe deeply, cry freely and let us help you in any way we can, ok? Are there any resources in your area to help you and your dad? Councils on Aging, respite care agencies, community health centers, Meals on Wheels, hospice or home care organizations, local church groups or clergy are just a few ideas to check into. Remember that airline instruction to put the oxygen mask on your own face first before trying to help someone else? So don't be shy about asking for whatever you need to get through each single day.
Is sewing going to be a relaxing break for you? Then manage a little bit just for you, don't worry about meeting deadlines for others, us included. I know we would gladly take turns doing a round for you anytime, just let Givio know how we can help. PM me anytime you need a shoulder and a cry. Miriam
