Reply to "Mourning & PTSD"

You are so right...

I am greatful for my hubby...Especially right now. He crawls out of the house in all weather and drives over to pick me up nightly...not sure how or what I would do without him...probably crawl home on all 4's.

He's gotten very kissy/cuddly too...Very new to him...been covering me with love, affection and understanding...this is a new phase in our life. I needed this a lot. I had had some vicious PTSD a few years back (around the time when each and every surgery led to 3 more and no one could wrap their head around how to fix me) and felt brittle, fragile and breakable (felt like I was made of very thing glass and the lightest touch would shatter me)...hubby was not very understanding and I was blowing up or breaking down for the slightest thing (granted that is also when menopause hit!). 

I thought that my life & marriage were over along with my health.

I am greatful that we survived it intact and capable of still loving each other...it was no easy feat.

I am a bit worse for the wear and so is he but we get these moments where we both are able to fall into each others arm in giggles...and that goes a very long way to healing ourselves.

Like I said, I take my miracle where I can get them.

I understand the only drinking protein shakes and being scared to eat solids but you need some animal proteins too...maybe ground beef pies? Homemade? Or cottage pie (nice warm mashed potatoes and ground beef. Not too hard on the guts and easy on the pouch?

I think that we need a girls' movie night. Let's all plan on watching the same one and having a good laugh.

Sharon
