Here you go @ArraDreaming - well deserved - with sugar and 2 tea biscuits
And in terms of being a support to your partner, I think you already are. Just by being there can make a huge difference.
And @Shaz51 - you deserve one too.

@ArraDreaming - self-care for tonight may mean putting aside the phone now, or leaving it another room so you don't get distracted.

Thank you @ArraDreaming for your words , but I do find it hard sometimes and to have our partners with us on these journeys does help
Yes it makes it harder when they have it on TV day and night
Thanks @tyme

For sure @tyme just doing everything I can and helping her contact family but also just being there, glad she is able to have a rest tonight, I’m on kid duty for the 5am wake up and any ones during the night.
I don’t know if I will get much sleep myself, I’m a bit of a stewing I will be thinking about this all night
