It's a Morning

There's really not a whole lot to write right now. It was a rough day yesterday. We called to check on my dad yesterday and the news was not so great. Basically his body is poisoning itself and it's starting to also effect his mind. The talks about him coming home have stopped. The fluid pill has stopped. I have spent the past day and this morning crying sporadically because even though we had prepared for this to an extent we weren't ready. Why is it always the end of the year? I don't know how to do this and no one will tell me what to do. I've been so wrapped up in him coming home that I'm lost. I'm so close to my daddy that I just want to scream not my dad. We just lost my grandmother October 9th. We haven't even reburied her and poppie's urns yet. Now this. I file bankruptcy today at 9am and 6 months after we can put stuff in my name. Grams house, her bills will be mine and I'll be helping with this house as well. One day at a time, one minute at a time. I can't do anything else right now. People keep asking if I'm ok and how are you and I just can't answer that question anymore. I'm not ok and I don't know how I am anymore.

I am so sorry. What you're going through sounds like what I went through with my husband in January. I hope you have some support there and people you can talk to, although I will say that MyLot friends have kept me going. Saying a prayer for your dad, you and your family.

How awful about your dad. I think a part of us can seem ready for these things, but the emotional side always takes over. I remember how hard it was to see my mother break down. She had been so strong and healthy for so long. The cycle of life is not always pretty. Sounds like you have a lot ahead of you. I wish you well.

I'm so sorry Jordan than you're going through so much. I'm praying hard for you and like others have said, I hope you can find someone to talk to professionally (grief counseling). This definitely is too much for you to handle on your own.

I'll have my sister next month. I'm trying to get my mom to come up with us and I think she will
