Each year during the holidays I see how much my brother-in-law has declined due to Alzheimer's. Also, how stressed my sister is in her caretaking of him. They actually have it much better than so many other couples/families dealing with this disease because they do have good pensions and healthcare and adult children ready to help out, yet, it is very difficult. Families without resources dealing with this long-term illness and it's consequences go through more hell. My sister goes to a support group and although she gets a lot from sharing this experience with others dealing with a loved one with Alzheimers, she gets really upset with what so many others do without because of their lack of support and resources. These groups do engage in pooling resources and lending a hand, but fergoddessakes, these folks are going through such an emotional roller coaster. The whole damn thing is just plain sad.

Having to make the decision to let my BearBear pass on to the other side.
He was always healthy, never sick a day in his short life, then on Christmas Eve he dropped. Refused food and would just stay on his bed, no energy whatsoever and that was not like him. Turns out he had developed a rare form of anemia that does just that; take a healthy animal and drops them. This anemia caused his immune system to attack his red blood cells, killing them off as his body struggled to make more. The treatment choices were not good and his chances of survival so slim that I had to make the choice to have him put down today. Those who know me, know he was my right arm and my heart as he was also my medical alert service dog. I am lost without him.

I wouldn't say so much sad, but rather disappointed.
Some information has come to light recently that has just left me kinda feeling disappointed.

One of my Scottish cousins’ being so insensitive earlier when we spoke that he reduced me to tears. I didn’t feel like going to my stitching group tonight as I still feel a little tearful, so I’m curling up with a good book and a pot of tea.

It's coming up on that time of year again...the 5th anniversary of my Mom's death.
i'm sad but in a different way. A peaceful way... Last year i was finally able to grieve. With the help and support of my most patient very best friend i was at last able to say Kaddish at her grave and cry from the depths of my soul... |

![]() my father & stepmother - they deliberately set out to hurt me, as often as possible.. & while i don't take on that anger anymore, because well - i just don't want to and simply won't play their dirty games back to them.. i am mature & do care and have love for them, as people who have been in my life for well.. my whole life.. But, what makes me sad, is their need to do this to me.. & need to ridicule and to try and lower my esteem.. They're not being supportive of the positive changes i am making..& when i think about this deeply, i realize it's because they're unhappy in their own lives. Not an excuse, of course. But, no matter how mean spirited they can be, i'll continue to wish for happiness for them, some peace & to be gentle with themselves.. i distance them for my own well-being - but still want well for them..

![]() Something i have been struggling with for a couple of weeks now.. Hearing my stepmother talking with her friend, at work under her breath.. & laughing at me as i was undressing in the girl's locker room. i have lost a considerable amount of weight, however i need to tone my arms, because i have loose skin happening... But how my stepmother ever thought that i would be okay overhearing her chuckling at me, saying how could i ever be comfortable showing that & then shivering like it was the most disgusting thing in the world. While i know i've still a ways to go with my weight, it saddens me that she picks on me like this and not even to my face but rather, behind my back.. (or well, attempted to)... While i have distanced both her & my father for about 3-4 weeks now (& this was a VERY good decision for my own well-being).. It's difficult to truly distance her when i work in the same building as her.. i don't like my body, however i am learning to LOVE it - and as my confidence grows, i'm learning to shake things like this off .. i still love them, wish them nothing harsh, but do wish them some peace of mind and some love in their hearts to not have to be so miserable and not be so judgemental.. life's too short.. But now i know, distancing them was indeed the right choice for me.
