Thanks for writing this. So important. Last year I said goodbye to my best friends and children 🐶🐕🦺 one was sudden. But one was long. I spent a whole year sleeping on the floor and reduced my work schedule. By the time she passed I was a shell. I’d do it all over again for her. But it’s incredibly lonely and taxing. Important conversation on caregivers burnout.
Oh I'm so sorry. Yes, the long goodbye is awful isn't it? It takes such a toll and reverberates into everything. I really feel for you. Hope you're doing okay now and going gentle on yourself 💜
My heart goes out to you, Cassie. Life can be so hard and yet, here you are, sharing thoughtful ways to help the rest of the world keep creatively themselves topped up. Look after yourself 💛
Beautiful and honest, but also some really lovely ideas to find joy, thank you for sharing. I have another friend that would be useful for you to connect with, I will see if I can DM. X
Thank you so much! Yeah I definitely ended up scraping the bottom of the barrel to find joy when I was at my worst but finding those tiny glimmers in the darkness has become a real life sustaining practice for me now! Appreciate it and you! 💜💫
Cassie, your vulnerability and strength shines through - I have no doubt you will help so many people in similar situations by sharing your story and learnings. My heart goes out to you and your family. ❤️
Thank you so much! Honestly when I was writing it I was like if this just helps one person out there feel l less alone then I'm doing a good job. These comments definitely make me feel like I'm where I'm meant to be! I really appreciate you reading and commenting! 💜
Thank you so much 💜 I almost wish for your sake that our paths weren't so similar (I'd never wish this suffering on anyone!), but I'm also so glad we found kindred spirits on this lonely journey in each other, too 🫶
