So sorry you are going through this... Archived Message

They say the big guy upstairs won't give you more than you can handle, but obviously you are being tested to the limits now. For all the crap that this place is, it's also a tight community of "friends" who want the best for each other. The #1 thing I can say is lay off the guilt trip...people get sick, that's life. You are trying to do your best for them, sometimes even at the expense of your own well-being. Hang in there. If and when the time is right, you might also want to do a sleep study and consider CPAP or other remedy. Not sleeping affects people in so many ways and speaking from experience, it's easy to be in denial about the change in attitude and personality. Again, my condolences to you and your family about the loss of your father (mine passed in September) and for the tragic unexpected passing of your niece. As you said, that's not how the script was written. Blessings.
