Oh Bemused, I am so sorry you've had a difficult week. Sometimes, people just don't think before they speak, and their words have such an impact on us.
I remember so well, seeing elderly couples out walking in the street and feeling an injustice that we were never meant to do that. It hurt, but I have noticed that the feeling has faded without me even noticing.
I admit, I still hate weekends. I now go to Slimming World on a Saturday morning and help out in the group, which helps my Saturday and I have made some great friends. Sundays ... a day to get through. I find it hard because some of my friends, naturally, spend Sunday with their family. I try to use the day doing something I want to do.
I am pleased that one of your neighbours took the time to talk and listen to you.
Jess is so lucky to have you as her Mum, and I'm sure she appreciates the tender loving care you give her.
Life will get better, don't try to run at it. Take each day as it comes, tears are a part of our days in the early stages and there is nothing wrong with that. Focus on each day, think about what you want to do and go do it.
Sending hugs Jan xx
