Went to the home this afternoon and took flowers, fruit, more pull ups and a card.
As usual they went to find Bridget to bring her to the door to see me. We’ve mentioned the little things that mean a lot , well she did something for the first time.
I said I love you and she said it back , then mouthed kisses at each other , then, after I said I can’t come in, she shrugged her shoulders and looked at me and made a disappointment face. For a person devoid of most communication skills this body language was unexpected and, when I went back to the car, got me crying again.
Reading a lot of posts I ask “where does all our energy go”. For all those grieving in some way
for our love ones normal energy levels vary enormously . I came home this afternoon shattered and for us all it’s easy to appreciate how our emotions drain us so all we want to do is sleep. I have to force myself to get up and move around.
