Elizabeth, that is too bad. I hope you will get better soon. It makes everything worse when you are sick. I agree. Maybe you can rest for a couple days, is that possible? Let us know how you are.
Sending TLC

Thank you everyone. I didn't mean to evoke so much sympathy...but its nice to hear. My Aunt passed this morning a few hours ago. Mom isn't doing so well with it as she is the last of her nuclear family. I am frustrated as I can't get to her as it has been confirmed...I have swine flu and so do the kids. I have been told to stay home because it spreads so fast. I don't know. Im frustrated as I would like to be there for Mom.

I am sorry about your aunt Elizabeth. That's a tough one...to stay or be with your mom. Well, I think the last thing your Mom needs is to be hit with the swine flu now. What does she think about you staying away?  If she's holding her own, maybe just put in some quality phone time until you are better. So sorry to hear all of this...I hope you are well soon and that Mom will be ok too.

I am so sorry Elizabeth, please feel better soon.  I am so sorry about your aunt. Your in my prayers.

Georgia.

[MISSINGYOU]

Thank you

Mom is holding her own and tells me to stay away. I lost my voice today, Iam not taking prednisone which could make me cranky. Id better stay then anyway as my cousins didn't mention my mother in the obit as they don't like their aunt. They went into the house to find something to place her ashes in instead of buying an urn I just hope it isnt tupperware,and they changed all her burial plans because they didn't want her buried next to husband. I don't understand.....I just don't understand. They also threatened to have my mother arrested if she enters the house even if their brother will invite her in. I don't understand.....


Thanks for the prayers as Dad used to say, with all sencerity, Ill take all I can get.

It seems to me that tragedies bring out either the worst or the best in people. We had some who were totally insensitive clods and others who saved us on the worst of days with a kind word or a hug at just the right time.

I have found that it saves time and precious energy if I DON'T try to understand the dysfunctional members of my family....and there are plenty to choose from!  I remind myself that I don't have any control over what they say and do--the only person whose emotions and behavors I am responsible for is my own. This can be very liberating. 

Let as much of the craziness go as possible and focus on taking the best possible care of yourself, so that one the flu passes you can be there for your mom.  Big hugs to you.

Hi Elizabeth,
I agree with Bluegrass all the way, I have so much drama going on in my family, I just try to close my eyes to it, breathe in , breathe out.

how are you feeling?

I feel lousy what a bug. The prednisone helps a little but the voice is still gone. the kids aren't missing it at all . I agree bluegrass, if they want to be crazy let them. anyone who knows my mother and aunt will only look at those adult kids like..."what where did they come from" Mom said they were making up things and believing it when they ulogized her. I just wish I could have said goodbye. When I feel better I will have a long talk with Aunt Barb.

Georgia, no offense but it is nice to know that I am not the only one who has drama. I try to run from it and it always catches up to me. Funny how that happens. Hope all is going better with you.

Take care all gotta rest. Thanks for everything

Elizabeth
