Things not too good really

[AnnW]

I am in a mess again. My mum died 3 weeks ago, her house ( my family home ) to be sold . I have left my husband and I'm now living with my daughter for the time being , in Chester .
My diabetes care is completely up the swanee , I've been eating chocolate , chips and drinking wine in excess.
I haven't stopped my swimming and I take my tablets religiously , but I've put on a little weight and I am down to be honest

Just needed a bit of a moan , sorry ...

Oh Ann, my dear friend, I am so sorry to hear of what you have been through My deepest condolences for the loss of your mother. It's hardly surprising that you are finding it difficult to think about your diabetes at the moment, you are only human. I hope that the swimming is giving you some respite from the things that have been going on, you're doing really well to continue with it.

I hope that things improve for you soon, you are a wonderful lady and we are always here for you if there is anything we can do to help lift your spirits and give you comfort.

Sorry to hear all that you have been going through.

It is not surprising that you are finding it hard to focus on your diabetes - you have had some major stresses in your life and they are bound to have had an impact on you.

My sympathy on the death of your Mum - I hope that you can focus on all the good times you had together. {{{Ann}}}

I'm so sorry you're going through such an awful time...I'm glad you've got the support of your daughter & well done for keeping with the swimming & tablets...anything you can to to protect your health is good & will help you in dealing with all the challenges you are facing. Please try not to make any hasty decisions whilst everything is so raw - just take time over things and be kind to yourself. Thinking of you. xxxxx

Really sorry to hear that Ann. No wonder you're finding things tough.

It's really strong of you to continue the swimming and the tablets. Many would have just given it all up. Well done for managing so well.

It's going to take a while for you to come to terms with all that's happened so let yourself greive and hopefully you have plenty of support so you can talk and talk and talk. Soon you'll find you don't want the chocs or the wine and you'll be ready to draw a line and start again.

Rob

Dear Ann,
You are dealing with a lot at the moment, a marriage break up and the death of your dear Mum. When these traumas happen to us, the last thing we think about is our diabetes. I would suspect there is a bit of emotional eating going on as you try to come to terms with everything.
Take one day at a time and try to come to terms with it all. There will be light at the end of the tunnel, even if you cannot see it yet.

Take care.

Maisie.

Ann - that's one heck of a lot to cope with in one chuck {{{Hugs}}}

If you aren't feeling better quite soon, I urge you to seek counselling. May sound like a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but a stitch in time .....

Music, that usually works for me. Calms me when I'm anxious, cheers me up when I'm struggling, brings me down to earth when I need reining in and generally improves almost any situation.
Little bites, you can't eat an elephant all in one go!

That's the ticket Ann - lots of lovely things to look forward to and the support of your wonderful daughters and us 🙂

Hello again Ann, glad to see you posting even if the reasons are not that pleasant all round. It did sound, in the past, that your homelife was (shall we say) less than ideal - so now you are moving on and have happier things to look forward to. Keep going and I'm sure things will get better for you. We always look forward to hearing your news, good or bad, on here as I'm sure you know. Sending virtual hugs your way. 🙂

Hi Ann
I wondered where you were. My deepest condolences for your loss.
I'm glad to read your second post that not all is negative. I hope you can keep focusing on the positive.
I wish you all the best in settling in your new life. (((Ann)))

Hello. It was my moms funeral, last monday,12th. Her house was left to us, three daughters, by my father, and mum could stay in as long as she lived. We are also having to sell the house my two sisters were borb in. No one has lived in the house but us. It will be very sad. It is even worse by being in the same lane. I wish you well and send you lots of cheery thoughts to cheer you up. Takecare. pm me if you want to anytime.

 

[AnnW]

Thanks everyone, it's not an easy time I have to say, but hopefully things will improve.... To be honest the only way is up really . MY family are wonderful, my daughters will get me through it I guess 🙂

 

[AnnW]

Spirit free, it is exactly the same, the family home to go, it is a weird feeling, losing mum, and the home too.
My marriage break was inevitable but it is not the best time to have that too I think !
Sorry about your loss too, awful feeling isn't it? Mum was almost 96 ( would have been this week) and people say ' she had a good life' but it's still my mum .

Thoughts with you (((hug)))
