Annisworkingonit's Journal, 09 July 2024

Good morning FS friends

Just wanted to say thank you for your support. It means the world.

This has been an emotional time where I seem to cycle between sorrow and anger. Angry that he died. Angry at how he died and the aftermath. Angry that he died intestate. Angry that because he died intestate I am a person without status despite being the one who knew him best, subsidised him through periods where his income was too low to support his debt, spent the most time with him. Nursed him through his surgeries (many through the years whether by accident or health related). Frustating, aggravating and sad. Even memorial arrangements are out of my hands. Likely why I've been doing the pilgrimage of our places and spreading tiny bits of his ashes on my own. On the up side, I don't need or want for anything as a hardworking, frugal lifestyle has led to a home I love and an early debt free retirement. That my parents left me their assets helped too. None of this came to pass because of him. I need to remember that.

Today, off to physio, then foot doctor.

Tomorrow. A haircut. The sideeffect of the recent stress and defective diet is that my hair is falling out. I offered to shave my head in support of his chemo journey, but he loved my long hair and preferred I not cut it off. We'll see what the hairdresser recommends. As life normalises, stress subsides and food intake is better balanced odds are the hair will start to stay on my head again.

Seems that if it's not one thing, it's another.

And so it goes

Over and out

Good morning Ann. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other, as you have been doing is how we continue on as hard as it can be to do so at times. I’m sure the fact that John died intestate is one more stressor that you did not need to deal with during this grieving period. You take care of you now and do whatever you need to do (i.e. haircut or go all out for the whole spa experience) to help heal yourself Positive/healing energy sent your way 💛
