Hi Nichole 🤍
I’m so sorry about your Great Uncle. That’s a real loss, and with what he did to help you, I can imagine how many feelings that stirred up. And hearing from your brothers on top of that… no wonder the week felt like you were being pulled in every direction at once. Grief, family, work stress, and physical pain — that’s a lot for one nervous system to hold.
I’m glad you finally got a day to rest. Sleeping until 5pm sounds like exactly what your body needed after the fall, the sprain, and the sciatica flare. Sometimes the deepest healing is just letting the body rest for a while.
Bogart is curled up with me on the reclining armchair as I’m typing these words. I think he feels loved, I think he feels safe (if only we felt that growing up… safe?)
I smiled hearing about your spoiled little cat boy. They really do keep us company in the sweetest ways.
I’m here, and I’m glad you wrote. Take things gently with yourself right now
🌿✨🤍Anita
