My life hasn't been easy and I have a sister who is suffering majorly with rheumatoid and osteo arhtritis since siagnosed at age 35 when she also had small children of her own to deal with. I hav fought with her for many many a year because for some reason whether to do with her diagnosis or our very disfunctional childhood that she would not take anything laying down and let me tell you she hasn't, she has fought every step of the way and continues to fight every day BUT there comes a time in your life where you can't fight anymore and that is what she is finiding. It breaks my heart to watch the fight she has gone thru and to be there for her every step of the way. BUT she has won the fight up till now and will continue to fight in every way she knows how.
CAn I just say that it has been her choice, this is her life and I am just there for her if and when and should she need me. It has been so very very tough on top of what I have been travelling but choices, we all make choices and it is our life, no one elses but ours. Just be there if they need you to be - to support them in every way they want u to.
I hope it helps because I really really do know how tough it is from both sides.
Lots of love, Mich xoxo
