    I’m exhausted. After years of taking care of my complicated mother, I found her passed then was later diagnosed with breast cancer at 39. I’m having trouble moving forward and knowing who I am.

    Has anyone had a similar experience?

    Dear M:

    Yes, I had a similar experience in that I had a complicated mother (who produced a complicated daughter 😔). Much of my life was Too much (and too little).

    How long ago was your diagnosis.. How is your health now?

    Hi M

    I’m sorry to hear about everything you’ve been through. No wonder you are exhausted! Please rest and take care of yourself. You deserve it. ❤️

    Do you want to talk more about these feelings of having trouble moving forward or not knowing who you are? ❤️

    Mmm I’ve had trouble with not knowing who I was a couple of times in life. I feel like often we base our identities on our circumstances. It is understandable that when circumstances change our sense of identity shifts. It can take some time to adapt. Trauma doesn’t make things easy either. I didn’t know who I was because of that as well.

    I do hope that you can take some time to focus on you. ❤️

    Wait, are you saying that you were diagnosed with cancer at age 39? Or was that your mother was diagnosed and then died? I am sorry. My English isn’t as good as it should be. Even though English is my only language. I sometimes have a hard time understanding people’s posts.

    Exhausted? Yes, dealing with the lost of someone can be exhausting. Funeral, paperwork, financial, and government responsibilities.
    And then to top it off, your own health concerns??

    The only thing one can do is to go thru it. One day at a time. One moment at a time. Feel what you feel. Take the time to focus on yourself. What makes you happy. I use to think that if I was going to pass away that I would do drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. But, I don’t want my life to be a bunch of moments being high all the time. Sure for a short moment maybe. But, I want me to be clear since my time would be short. Maybe a short list of things I wanted to do. Learn to dance? Play the piano? Talk to strangers? Go on a cruise? Visit a different country? Canada? Italy? China? How about a hot romance … novel, lol.
