It’s good you have found a way to decompress & renew. That is so important. Thank you for sharing. Between talking to a psychologist, finally getting “brave” enough to sign up on a support group site & hearing from others dealing with situations similar to mine, & finding interest that keep me from focusing on the negative all have helped “put me in a better place mentally” than I was. I do have to work on improving my strength & endurance & have signed up for classes for that at our local senior center. Thank you for reaching out & sharing what has worked to help you cope.

I don’t always do so good with that. I know the right thing to do is just answer the question again. Instead, I say we talked about that last night, hoping to maybe get him to put forth some effort trying to search his memory bank on the chance something will come back. Instead I get responses such as we may have but I’m asking you for the information now!
