no more stress please.

[claire m]

as some of you from chat may know my dad is terminally ill with congestive heart failure.
he now has failing lungs and liver so the outlook is not good, me and my sisters are trying to brace ourselves for the future.
Im already under alot of stress at the moment and really dont know how i am going to cope with what ever happens next.
i dont live in newcastle where my dad is and it is making me ill with the thought of not being there right now with him.
i will be going soon but with kids and a job and my voluntary work i feel like im tearing myself apart.
i feel physically sick all the time and think im just going to scream.
i wish i could but im the kind of person who buries it for now and deals with it later.
so im pencilling my nervous breakdown for the end of summer i might have some time then!

I am so sorry your going through such a hard time. My prayers are with you. The only advice I can offer is to take it one day at a time. There is nothing that can prepare you for the death of a loved one. Take some time for yourself also, maybe a long hot bath or curl up with a good book. Take care. :hugs:
