Its a new month and I am back. We have been busy traveling, boating and just trying to relax. My Dad had a fall and was in the hospital and now rehab. This has been unexpected and unfortunate for Dad. I had spent the last 2 years focused on my Mom and her health that I took for granted that my Dad was "fine".
As soon as we became empty nesters we had to take on my parents. Its difficult on so many levels including financial issues. My parents did not take care of their personal business during my entire life. Its tough to relive hurtful memories, being frightened about money, making sure every one, including myself is taken care of. There has been no break as far as care giving duties go. Both my husband and I take that burden on and it can be a strain for us both.
I am still angry. I am once again feeling negative. I would never have thought trying to be happy could be so hard and tiring. I am so very tired. So here I am left with just pushing through the daily grind.
