Hello Amazons

<< < (2/3) > >>

cats paw:
Thanks everyone!

 I had a difficult relationship with my ill mom, and she passed away. Some of the other people on the board at the time were GS, TT, Storm and Izzy, plus many others. I know Izzy passed away quite some time ago.

Hops- I don't know if you still have them, but we PM'd a couple of times. I haven't explored enough to know if it is still available to review old messages.  It seems from what I've read that few would feel the need to use it now. Drama appears to be absent, and communication of differences respectful.

CB- I still carry the comfort of your words in my heart from that difficult time.

Amber- I remember when your initials were PR, and all the work with Twiggy. I didn't "talk" to you very much. I was a wee bit intimidated as to having anything to say to you, and I was in awe of you.  Still am, but not so intimidated now lol.  BTW, I'm an Outlander fan, too.

Tupp- Thanks for the welcome back. You have been such a devoted mom, and I'm so glad for you that you are experiencing that feeling called "Happy".

 As to the shape of my present life, I have health issues and so does my husband.  Covid just makes things incredibly difficult to accomplish. Thank goodness for being early retired.  In that respect, we're fortunate.  Our most immediate worry is that the next treatment they try for my husband will
be stabilizing, at a minimum.  Our next worry is that the ACA remains in effect, as we can only COBRA for a while longer. We also hope they will lower the Medicare age to 60 IF the election goes the way we hope. S (my husband) and I are on the same political page.

 I have lots of anxiety and sadness; who doesn't these days?  Oh wait- those who believe Covid is a hoax.  I also have gratitude and contentment.

Hey Lighter!

Lots of cool things in your life now!

Oh gosh... no need to be intimidated by me! I've had just as much heartache, anxiety, and over-thinking my own situation (and struggle over my feelings) as anyone else here. I'm just too danged stubborn to give up - LOL.

Heck, I even discovered what "lonely" feels like, not so long ago.

This covid crap is messin' with EVERYONE, I think. I'm still adhering to my self-imposed isolation and limiting my trips out into the "wide world"... but then I'm a natural hermit.

Twoapenny:
Look forward to hearing more, Cats Paw, and I'm sorry that you have your health issues going on.  Always something to be dealing with.  I do remember Izzy, she was great and much missed.  Good to have you back xx

Hopalong:
CP, yes...I'm glad you've come back.
It sounds as though with health and hubby and on top of it insurance fears, you have a whole lot on your plate, emotionally. Then toss in a mere pandemic and horrible disease threatening all, and it's a wonder you can even type.

BRAVO for reaching out.

I hope talking about it all you like at any length you like here will help. This board has gotten me through I think about the last 20 years of my life!

Hold on, even to whatever small comforts come your way. Do you also have any outlets for help IRL or via Zoom? I was surprised to hear from a close friend how incredibly well her therapy/counseling is going...with a therapist she's never met in real life. She just got a few references, did some Googling and called a few people for preliminary consultations over Zoom, and they got started and she's benefitting tremendously, she says. My therapist has been great on Zoom as well.

Even if you only get in a few months' worth on COBRA, it might be a real boost, do you think?

hugs and hope,
Hops
PS I generally don't PM simply because I like to focus my energy on the whole board thing, maybe with the ADD-brain having two areas going would fry me.
