Thank you for this. I have been going crazy with worry, and grieving too. grieving for my sons lost life. and grieving, in case he is very ill mentally. I believe that there is hope, but as you say, he has to take it. I am holding on to your words, and will be referring back to them, in days ahead. You are so right about me not knowing the right thing, if I am not taking care of me. I guess those were lessons my son should have learned years ago- to respect my boundaries. it just is taking me so long to make them.
I really am sorry that your parents have and are going through so much. It is not fair, is it? It is very very hard, being a parent, especially of an ill one. I heard it said that a parent is only as happy as their saddest child, and it is so, so true. I guess we can make good choices , even if our heart is sad, if it is for the best.
Thank you, and bless you, and your parents and your sister. I hope she awakens,soon.
