"So much has happened over the past year+ that I sometimes wonder what the point is. I guess some people would call this an existential crisis. As many w/ a chronic disease know, the metaphorical weeding of our family/friends garden is painfully necessary. It's a particular kick in the face when one of those is your husband, best friend & 'Care Partner.' When I was the only one available to step up for him, after he was diagnosed w/ Stage IV Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, the anguish I felt regarding his affairs had to be backburnered. Everything seemed to be hitting all at once. Multiple health issues, family death, Missouri River flooding (causing so much devastation here)... I keep looking for the positive in all of this negative, & it's so overwhelmingly complicated. Although I haven't seen my therapist in almost a year, I keep thinking: 1 day at a time, 1 moment at a time, progress not perfection. Thanks for giving me this safe space to vent."
