I just don't feel I know anything for sure anymore.<br /><br />Self-help books were never helpful to me. I guess my hardheadedness is in my DNA. I've let this thing with the nursing home narrow my world and my thinking so much, that I didn't even get to see my next door neighbor before she died--and I have no excuse. none. I even had her hospital room number and could have called the night before surgery--but I was afraid I'd bother her.<br /><br />I'm sure you --when you were a nurse, Karen--were a good, caring nurse. I know you're second guessing yourself, now, but I can't see you as anything but caring.<br /><br />I just hate so much what you are going through. I know you have to read about this RDS--and I have read up on it. It doesn't sound like there's any good in reading more. There's no way you can feel any guilt in this--you didn't cause it.<br /><br />We all get in debt over things--when we look back--were, well, maybe not wrong, but unnecessary. <br /><br />Looking back? It hurts too much. Looking forward? It hurts too much. And at the moment-we're hurting too much. I know what you mean--about not really looking forward to living. I really do. But I know I have to do it anyway.And so do you.<br /><br />I just don't know what to say----I'm just praying for you. And I love you. I hope I haven't made it worse by saying all I have.Bluebird49https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195892307835553912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-9430905578612404492011-02-27T06:24:21.180-08:002011-02-27T06:24:21.180-08:00And I love that new title! :)And I love that new title! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-7443226910967237142011-02-27T06:22:37.833-08:002011-02-27T06:22:37.833-08:00It sounds like Roman should be elsewhere. For you...It sounds like Roman should be elsewhere. For you and for him. It is sad, but it must be done. I had to give my beagle to my mom after my second child was born because the dog was just miserable with the kids around. Everytime we would go to my mom's house the dog would refuse to come with us. We would have to physically pick her up. Sassy thing. Finally we said, well if she wants to stay so badly I guess she just should! Still, it made me really sad. Funny thing is, I think she was meant to be there. When my dad got Alzheimer's my mom would bring the dog to the nursing home every day and it made my dad so happy. That dog was very good for my folks. (Long story short, too late, everything happens for a reason)<br /><br />As far as the book goes, I can't think of any off hand. I really think you should be reading comedies instead. What gets one person through their difficulties sometimes doesn't help another person. Might even tick you off. All I know is that when I am going through a rough spot the last thing I want to do is read about more grief, even if that person transcends it. All I want to do is escape and think about something else. Comedy, I'm telling ya! ;)<br /><br />Too funny about your friend. I love it! Honesty ! :)<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you are posting more often and getting your feeling out. That has got to help some, and it is so good for you. :)<br /><br />Thanks for your email too. You are so stinking sweet! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-11315442209957211882011-02-26T15:38:07.783-08:002011-02-26T15:38:07.783-08:00Love the new title! i should start a separate blo...Love the new title! i should start a separate blog for MY daily scream from work!

And you...I am going to think about the book thing. And you will cry when Roman goes to his new home. But I feel like it's the best for you both. You need to focus on you.

I...Well, I guess I don't read self-help books. I read the kind that take me away to a place I'd never go on my own.
