I don't often post but I do binge read.
What you do on a day-to-day basis is incredible, and what you are doing now is beyond that. It is a huge service that you undertake, and I'm sorry that you do not get appreciation from those you assist or, I'm sure, the recognition of your achievements in keeping the service and your team going. You are marvellous and I am in complete admiration of all that you do.LD 12.25 £1600.00/£0700.00 Fn £274.00 LTFn £525 LLTFn £300

You can only do your best, and whether you can keep going, or not, you know that you couldn't have done any more. Please remember that you, and your family, are as important as the people you are looking after and be realistic as to what you can do. (((hugs))) XI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

INOD. I hope you are doing ok. I echo what everyone else says. You must look after yourself, otherwise for those who want help it won't be there. It is so hard helping people who can't see the damage they are doing. just be kind, it isn't like there is a plan for all this!
rest well my friend
