    I am stuck. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t a carer while working and all that that entailed. Then they all died. Husband, inlaws, parents – aunts/uncles – all gone. Then there was my own personal grief over the chronically debilitating health issues which have restricted what I can do, where I can go and resulted in limiting my engagement in activities that once fulfilled me. I can’t do the work I previously enjoyed. I am not in the place where we planned to be. and then there is the sadness about not being able to fulfil the wishes of my dying husband – at times it wasn’t the best of marriages, but it was ours. All I seem to have now are regrets. And please, don’t ask me to speak to family or friends – they are all gone! I reached out, but counselling is expensive, so I spoke with my GP who tells me if I didn’t have the other health conditions I could be treated with meds, but as I do, sorry, just keep plodding along. Well I don’t want to! I want help and I cant seem to do it alone anymore. I’ve read through the forums, pondered the blogs, worked on mindfullness and acceptance, attempted to reduce to reignite my ownness, but I am tired and struggling.

    Dear smartypants:

    You took care of your husband, inlaws, parents, aunts and uncles when they were sick, over the course of most of your life, then, and now they are all dead. You are left with chronically debilitating health issues that restrict your life significantly.

    I have a few questions, and if you’d like to answer any of them, or all, please do and we can keep communicating:

    What were the wishes of your dying husband?

    What is the nature of your health issues (to the extent you feel comfortable sharing, of course)?

    What would you do if you were not physically limited?

    …and “smartypants”- may I ask, why you chose this name…?
