@Faith-and-Hope - hard yards lived and so glad you got to have some good time with your Mum before the end if not right there at the end. Isn;t life tenuous? I sometimes feel so angry at this mental illness I have - which no one seems to realise is devastating. Even this morning my partner said with exasperation 'What's the MATTER?" as I had tears running down my cheeks not long after I woke up feeling physically better but thinking, thinking, thinking about... what?  I dunno. what was I thinking Just bleh, just mud. Tidal Flats.

My friend lives interstate and I so wish I was nearby for her to go do a bit of shopping or cook meals for her, She lives alone and is struggling with this on her own. Life is such a tough gig.
