3 years out for me. I thought I was handling it all so well. It was a blur and bad decision after bad decision. Life is finally settling in a good way. I too was on the verge of a diabetes diagnosis. I now go to a bootcamp and eat better than I have in 20 years. It is really hard to take care of yourself. I have had to learn how to do it. I had a shoulder surgery last year. Old injury and the stress of caregiving made it impossible to heal so I took 8 weeks off and had the surgery. 8 weeks....gives you a lot of time to think....and think I did. It was the first time since Steve died I allowed myself to really think about the crazy journey we were on, the fallout from it, and what I wanted in life going forward. All the thinking took me to a really dark place for awhile. Thank God for girls nights out, supportive friends, and kids that understand.
