Sucks to know my mom is going to have a feeding tube placed next week because her ALS is really making it hard for her to eat anything or drink anything so it hurts to see her struggle and I know she doesn't want this, but it's needed too. I hope it turns out good and it's something that can be a positive thing for her and give her energy as she so desperately needs it.

You both will be in my prayers and thoughts
 
I never truly realised how draining it is to feel the stress of "needing to relax" or "needing to enjoy yourself".

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. Last year I was so depressed I didn't celebrate it at all. This year I did, but a few days after, it's kicking my ass. So much to dread comin in January doesn't help either.

Forcing yourself to enjoy, to relax, doesn't work. But then how do you? What to do? *sighs*

Maybe just a vocabulary shift? Instead of thinking of it as “needing” or “forcing yourself” to relax, think of it as just relaxing…like, today I’m gonna take some time and go sit by a pond or read a book. Make it not something that you have to do, or even something that you want to do…it’s just something you do sometimes

idk if that would work for you, just my thoughts on it…I hope you find an answer for yourself :)
 
It's not a little thought but had to be said..

As the hours keep counting down I can say I'll be happy to say goodbye to 2023. I did a lot of my breast reduction healing this year and I'm grateful that I had a great recovery and got the surgery itself, but the summer of 2023 was shit because that's when my mom was diagnosed with ALS. It's been such a heartbreaking experience to watch my mom get sicker and sicker and I can't do a damn thing about it. As I try to still embrace the good moments every now and then I feel like I get punched in my stomach to snap me back to the reality of what is going on with my mom. Everything is just different now and nothing will ever be like it once was. If there is one thing my mom has given me is to have incredible strength to push forward no matter what because God is in control and God is always there for me and I lean on him for strength and understanding.

I can only hope to have some good moments in 2024 and I pray that I get to have my mom here for another new year. Life is not fair at all and your life can change forever so fast and never did I think this would be happening to my mom and our family. I ask everyone to please never take your health for granted and all of the things you can do because it can be taken away so fast. Everyone who still has their mothers, I just ask you to cherish her as a person and cherish the time you share together because you never know what will happen. Appreciate your loved ones and be grateful for them because we only get one life to live.

Thank you to everyone who's been praying for my mom and my family. It really means a lot and we can definitely use all the prayers we can get. Although my mom has a fatal disease and no cure, prayers do help in so many other ways so just know you can still pray for the terminally sick people in the world and I know they would appreciate it too. I send everyone the warmest thoughts and best wishes for 2024. May peace, love, good health follow you always. Much love to all! May God Bless you in 2024. ❤️❤️❤️
