@Mazarita Thinking of you.
Balancing your emotional extremes is work. You are probably resting up for the times to come. Sounds wise to me. Lions can sleep 20 hours per day to be in readiness.
I am doing resting up atm too. Received call that lil bro passed this morning. Its the type of death where it is a release after an enormous battle.
Son wanted to sing and I will do a small practise, but quietness feels best.
@Faith-and-Hope Just tagging you to let you know too.
I will get through it even if I go up & down.
@Former-Member Nice to get to know you more.
I am "soldier" battling for your version of sanity in an insane world. Had to put up with uncle on fb pointing finger at Trump as a baddie to deflect attention from himself with his hobby farm & boys toys for tax benefits .. this uncle is playing poor pensioner now ... OMG .. but evil property developer and mining chief when it suits him.
I am lucky to have housing stability, so I have responsibility to make that work as secure base for My Child.
I also have a beautiful concert to come home to after the funeral, so thats the plan anyway.
WIll pull my head in a bit. Just want to do one post on Highlight Thread.
Love to you all.

@Appleblossom, words are so inadequate at a time like this, even after a huge battle. I totally get why you would feel like quiet for now. It was the same for me when Dad died. Could barely speak, after the initial outburst of wailing. Sending gentle love.

@Appleblossom No words would be right.
Love and caring

Hi, @CheerBear! I have had a surprisingly good day today and have got lots of needed things done in preparation for mum and friend's arrival. Last minute bits and pieces remain to be done tomorrow. In between doing those things, I will probably be around on and off the forum before heading to the airport in the afternoon. Thanks so much for your well wishes. Somehow I seem to have managed to defer (repress?) a fair bit of my anxiety about housing for now. Just want to try to enjoy and welcome my wonderful guests this week. Have been reading back a bit over the Nest thread tonight. Thinking of you with what you are going through at present. Sending kind wishes for a restful sleep tonight.
