Thank you! Surprisingly ...he's eating more than i see as he gained 7 lbs at the dr visit!! We went away for a couple nights and did nothing. It was peaceful, quiet and wondeful.
When i saw my therapist last week she said i have "anticipatory grief"
Anyone hear of that? I read about it. It does sound like me. She said we would talk more about it at my next visit.
Thank you. Hope everyone is doing well!

@lah I was very happy to read that your husband has gained weight! And the fact you got a couple of days away to just "be" must have been refreshing for you both. Yes, I have heard of anticipatory grief. I have a tendency to script out in my mind, as big surprises are not my cup of tea, and can really send me off the rails. It's not that I "awfulize" things, rather try to think of all the different possibilities in any situation, in order to be prepared.
Please come back and share as you are comfortable, how both you and your husband are doing, please.
