This forum is so depressing! I think we all have to try and do what works for us individually. There is no right answer or one answer. I am a 55 year old fibromyalgia wife, mother and working person and my husband has had diabetes for 20 years. He is not functioning brain wise and has recently got us into an intensely bad financial state. We also have a 30 year old who has auto immune deficiency leaning towards lupus or fibromyalgia. The other daughter of 25, has MS symptoms. Needless to say what kind of a house we live in. It seems society has put us sick people in a box to care for each other. There are not many helps and I am too busy to care or indulge. I have recently been fired from my job, have a debt to the bank, and have trouble making my way let alone help my family. I feel like my Titanic is sinking! So I pray a lot, read these forums to know I am not alone in the world and once in a while I get a scrap of goodness thrown my way. I still want to wash down the cupboards of a friend who has left her sick husband and has life threatening cancer. It is a bit much but I try to take what life throws at me. I am learning to walk on water, listen to supreme music and knit my brains out for family, friends and charity. I like to hear good news that my nephew won bronze in a provincial championship with a squadron of Cadets in rifle accuracy. I still care for my mother who lives in a home. And provide tea and sympathy for my divorced brother. My brother in law has no kidneys, lost brain function and hasn't much time left. I think it will work out right in the end. I am ready to go and God has a big heart for losers like me. I can still drive, paint, play guitar, knit, create, interior decorate to some degree and keep my house really clean. Life is good! I make the best soup, loaves, teas, grow plants in my house, and have a green thumb. My yard is an eyesore but it makes me happy. Lotsa love to all those suffering people with untreatable diseases. You will be OK but like my mother in law says, "It's damn close"!
