Nat update

Hi Ladies,

Well shit days doesn't even seem to come close to whats going on for you all! 

Firstly, scared Mum. I feel for you. This is so hard to stand by and watch. Those helpless feelings would be dreadful. I always said that I was glad it was me and not one of the kids. The needles are awful and must be horrendous for someone frightened of them. I suggest you go to the chemist and get some emla cream. Put it on a couple of hours before the injection and the area is numb, so it no longer hurts. 

You will keep going as the other option sucks more. Days like today, allow the tears. Acknowledge the feelings and keeping going one step at a time. Try to organise something nice for you both when Nat is feeling up to it. 

To Christine, your daughter is in for a tough time but it will be better than staying with her husband. Happiness is the best revenge. Walk away as best you can and concentrate on her and her children.  Sometimes when life is so difficult and hard, you don't understand why and how you will get through. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can start to climb back up. Being away from that man will help her emotionally and physically. Knowing that she is showing her children strength and love by doing so. You will also get through the tough times and come out the other side stronger and happier than before.
