Dear me:

I am sorry that your father is so sick and that the two of you are suffering, and I am sorry for the loss of your aunt and the sickness of your father’s friend whose been helping you.

“my memory has taken a severe shot too“- ongoing, intense distress (suffering) affects memory and other cognitive functions.

“The nurses all tell me I have done an amazing job take care of him“- try to find some comfort in the fact that you’ve done such an amazing job taking care of your father.

“I am now on a 2 week holiday, have freaked out at work already”- Try to relax during your holiday. You’ll be better able to take care of your father if you relax and get some rest. Suffering during your holiday will harm you and your father; Relaxing and resting will help you and him.

“Life just sucks…“- you are welcome to continue to share your thoughts and feelings here, anytime, if it helps to type them away and receive replies.
