What Do You Do?
Not worked in over a month. Weird feeling but enjoying the more relaxed pace. Of course right now I have no idea what I am doing and the main focus is on making sure mum is okay and being by her side. I was already confused about my direction but now it is all taking a back seat. Suddenly the house burning down last year doesn't seem like such a big deal. Priorities have shifted big time and the main concern now is support and survival. Ensuring mum has the medical treatment she needs plus the emotional support to help her through it all.
Finding out a loved one has cancer causes a whole mix of emotions. Shock, fear, grief and confusion. You want to try and be positive for the person but you also don't want to over do that, you need to feel the sadness and listen to their concerns and worries. Mum tries to be strong but deep down she must be so scared. Pancreatic cancer is also one of the cancers with a terrible outlook. Not many people make it past 5 years…
Whilst we await more news on mums surgery and treatment, we head out to Archway House in Sherwood Forest. Time in nature will hopefully bring some peace and tranquillity. We also do some yoga together and Isabella goes through some pranayamic breathing techniques. We also enjoy some walks in the forest as well as a bit of a sauna. There is a lovely autumnal feeling in the air, though part of my is anticipating the cold to come as I have not had a winter here in the UK for a few years now…
