Weird thing happen last week, I took my son to therapy (that is a whole another story) . I was waiting for him to arrive, and I started talking to the therapist--now this is about him I feel pretty good over all--and my son shows up thank goodness. We decide as a group that I will stay in the session because I had started telling the therapist about my husband and ALS and our journey and how it is affecting our family. after about 45 minutes, I realize the entire session is about my husband and ALS. I cried for the first time in a very long time when my son said he just wanted it to be over. :sad:
I ended up making another apt just for me, but what was odd was that after I left, I felt sad again in an overall way. maybe I have been in denial a lot about ALS and what is going on, but I have not felt sad for a long time. maybe talking about it is not the answer--I don't want to be sad. I thought I would feel better after I talked but it was the opposite. I have been weepy for several days in fact, and I think it is getting worse.
