Thank you for sharing, Hanna. If you're ok with hugs, I'd give you a very big hug and sit alongside you for a while. I helped Mum care for Dad, and then took on the majority of his daytime caring until his passing in 2020. Now, I care for Mum. I rage(d) inside more than outside because there is a fine line we tread in ensuring timely attention and care are given within the limitations of the NHS system here in the UK. Navigating, influencing, persuading, and trying to create/build 'partnerships' are some of the things that have led to some mean pillow-punching sessions. BUT another piece is the suspension of the inner rage. Rage of the situation as a whole and of every event/difficulty we experienced from the litany of Dad's health issues. There's a continuous cycle/trials about how to navigate and forgive the Grief-rage or perhaps for me, raging grief.
This is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it. For always being so open and honest. I think maybe you'll never know how much you've truly helped people with your story. But I'm quite sure many, and more to come.
Whelp. You made me cry (again!). God I love your writing, it really helps me process my own stuff ♥️
Hanna, You named this A Massive Trigger. Most appropriate. I feel like I can now write about my oldest son's struggles. Thank you for this.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope you are able to gain some healing from writing about it.
