5 funerals and now we are prepping a house to bring mom in with us.
F’ck 2025
So so sorry, and yes, 2025 can just go and f’ck itself any time now. So much loss and so much emotional baggage. Sending you some energy.
I'm so sorry this is too much for anyone to deal with.
Hugs to you! Hoping ‘26 is better for you.
Hoping 2026 is better for us all, including some kind of cure for this beast of a disease.
I'm thankful this community exists while steadfastly wishing there were no need for it.
