Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

bad news indeed, but I'm sure you will find a way to keep on keeping on in support, then you can save a big wobble for after

your relative will appreciate the care you have shown more than you might ever know

Sorry to hear about the bad news. It's so hard. When I had similar news for a very close relative I really kept expecting someone would say one day, 'oh sorry we made a mistake'. Glad to hear you and your sister are supporting each other. Hugs.

So sorry to hear DIA 
I echo the nice thoughtful posts above , but the only thing to add is that believe it or not this will make you stronger . You are made of strong stuff anyway , and  life is crap a lot of the time . You have done a lot to plan your path ahead , and are still doing so . Time is the healer here imho and with so much going on , eventually you will get some sort of stability and  manage everything even better in the future .  

Your mini goals in the meantime so to speak , will hopefully take your mind off for a while and keep you focused and help you remain calm . 

You're taking everything on the chin and not falling down . Keep going ..

Hi there DIA,
Been catching up on your diary since last month. How time flies!!
Hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend. 
Sorry to hear about your relative. Not much to say to make anything feel better for you, but sending you kind wishes. Not a great time.
Keep looking for your new home. You will find it eventually and it will feel right. Very odd and nothing much to put your finger on. The pantry was my winner (only a small room with shelves plus the washing machine and a freezer) and my friend's was the fireplace, but it felt right for us. 
Been working a bit more on the flexi bank. Usually do one long day 7:30-8:00. It sounds long, but it is always busy and I actually don't feel that bad afterwards. I think it's because it is all consuming while I am there and I can leave it when I go. Different dynamic too working on the bank as I am in charge of what I do and where I go. Plus it is totally different to my regular job. The money really helps too and I feel liberated in that respect. 
Anyway thinking of you. 
Best wishes

I'm sorry about your relative too DIA. Life can be very hard sometimes, but whoever said it makes you stronger is correct, it also makes you more humble and more appreciative of the people you still have.
