One of the most difficult aspects of this illness is the continual losses and the grief that follows. Just when one has adjusted to a new loss and gone through the changes and made the accommodations necessary and grieved over the loss, a new one rears it’s head and the process starts all over. It is a constant battle to not be overwhelmed by it all. My pals and I make a valiant effort to find joy in little things and adjust but yet another loss this weekend has left me reeling. The weight of responsibility that falls on my shoulders to handle everything and knowing there are new changes that will need to be handled around the corner is so hard at times and my prayer every day is to be the great caregiver he deserves, but sometimes the sadness and fear is so exhausting, it’s so hard to not show it, no one but you all understand.
