Come on, October!


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

It really hasn¡¯t been good around here. Just recently, a friend from our exercise class died (not Covid). She was a very nice person and will be missed. Then Mark¡¯s niece¡¯s husband had a stroke and did not survive the surgery to try to mitigate. Tuesday, we got a call saying that Mark¡¯s younger brother, a man in his late 60s, died (also not Covid). It¡¯s been quite the 3 weeks!

?

Top it off with a serious case of poison ivy that has me on very strong steroids that are knocking me for a loop.

?

I can¡¯t wait to see what October brings.

Oh no! First, I hope you feel better soon. Second, I am sorry for all your losses. That is a really triple strike out all at once. Take care of yourselves.

Oh, Ann, that is so much to process.? You'll move through this, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier.? In the mean time, be kind to yourself and try to accept that we can't rush grief.? I'm so sorry you and your family are experiencing so much sorrow.
