This is such a huge change in your life -- and you will be at loose ends for awhile, and experience a whole lot of emotions.<br /><br />Hang in there. I am glad to hear of the new person in your life. Your Mom is safe, and whole again, and it is time for Karen to be the caregiver for Karen! But as I said, it's going to take time. Don't do things alone, if you can help it.<br /><br />And despite all the work and worry of the past few years, you will miss her, and sometimes at the oddest times it will hit you. God bless you, Karen. You have been such a good and faithful daughter. <br /><br />Hugs ...

If you need to cry....then cry. If you don't want to clean her room ...close the door. You've taken care of your mother for such a long time, I can only imagine how lost you must feel.......look for a job when you're rested.<br /><br />It sounds like God placed someone in your life right at the time when you needed him most....The best of luck to you!<br /><br />I'm keeping you in my prayers,Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532665442199865950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227525769485397391.post-52851969281961729102011-10-27T18:29:53.258-07:002011-10-27T18:29:53.258-07:00I've been thinking of you and praying for you!...I've been thinking of you and praying for you! I was thinking about you and how different things are going to seem for you now. I'm sure it must seem strange. I pray that you will find peace and comfort knowing you did such a wonderful job taking care of your mom. I pray that you won't feel guilty taking time for yourself and taking care of you. You deserve it. Continuing to pray for you and think of you!

Been there, done that. It takes time, girl, so please give yourself that time that you need. I found that in the beginning after Elbert's death, I thought I was functioning fine, pretty normal and then it hit me... that wasn't 'normal', that was being in shock. So, please, go slow and keep us posted on you.

It does sound difficult to know what to do now, you've never been in this exact same spot before in your life. It's ok to take some time to figure it out, grief can come and go unexpectedly so it might take a bit to get used to it. Take good care of yourself, you deserve it after this difficult journey.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634672497717328653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227525769485397391.post-32184028121935521702011-10-27T08:24:30.062-07:002011-10-27T08:24:30.062-07:00It must be so hard for you, but it sounds as if yo...It must be so hard for you, but it sounds as if you have things under control.
