Re: My Girl

Hi @Shazz0211  I apologise for the late reply but haven’t been online for a few days. Gosh it’s a hard journey hey. The ongoing bouts of grief of missing out on the relationship you thought you would have with your kids. I think the last few months have been really emotional for me as I’ve turned 60 and my girl 30. Two milestones and the past 11 or so years since her initial diagnosis have just sped by in a blur and has left me wondering where that time went. Her depot is now every three weeks instead of four as she also was missing her GP appointments and this way if she does she’ll still have enough in her system until she gets to the GP. Sadly the meth is making the whole story a lot worse and I never know what mood she will be in when she rings wanting money. I feel quite nauseous these days when she does ring because of this. I was organising online food delivery for her but have been told it doesn’t get eaten. This is due to the drug issue as well as her schizophrenia as will only eat noodles at present. I’m fortunate that I have a good relationship with her support team and she too is lucky to have them keeping a close eye on her. So for now, it’s back to some self care for myself, sitting with the grief when it strikes and trying to focus on other things. Sending big hugs and hoping you too are making time for yourself and focusing on all the other little things that bring joy to your days. So very important. 🙏🌹

Re: My Girl

Thank you @8ppleTree for checking in. Back issues from garden misadventure have been sorted and have learnt my lesson for now. It has been a difficult week with my girl having a psych review but the results could have been worse. Grief comes in such huge waves at times. Desperately missing the daughter I once had and feels like my heart will simply explode with the sadness of it all. Death in a sense without closure. I cry to release and it passes until next time. It is what it is hey. Some self care for me this week. Thank you 🙏
