#1) In the Comments of Friday, (9/9/11), Terri made a very good point about her own thoughts of worthlessness, i.e., that those thoughts are symptoms............ NOT The Truth. And The Truth is, Tashi, that you *ARE* valuable, too----i.e., with Wash, or without Wash, you yourself *ARE* valuable.
'Very hard to internalize that, (I well know!), when everything/everyone immediately around you seems to----make it seem otherwise. You have no idea of the *POSITIVE* IMPACT----(or the *BENEFICIAL* RIPPLE EFFECT)----on your Readers, (including me!)............ in how you're "dealing," (i.e., as a devoted, and exhausted, young caregiving wife).
#2) This is a verse from, (as you know), "The Browncoat Creed":

You're "Fighting The Good Fight"----(FOR *YOURSELF*, too)----by "walking" now instead of "running"............ and by your going to that book reading by Laurie R. King, i.e., while Wash was out with a couple of friends!!
#3) Sometimes, Tashi, you'll almost have to be UNWAVERING NOW in Fighting The Good Fight FOR *YOURSELF", too, because (afterwards)----YOU will be the one............ going on.
And we all also WANT you to Fight The Good Fight now FOR *YOURSELF*, too----and to not completely push aside/totally neglect this good, decent person, whose name is............ *TASHI*.
That made me cry @ the end. I'm a grunts wife, we NEVER cry. ;)
I hear you with the caretaking, sometimes I just look around... trying to find myself again. Hang in there, I get where you're coming from. Most of the injuries are different, but he has a hellish TBI, so again, I TOTALLY GET YOU. You have my number, text/call if you need to.
Ps. Ever get the garden?:)
Hugs and imaginary iv margaritas for the both of us!! :) -Jes-
I'm a 26 year old former Caregiver. This is my voice to talk about my life- mostly about learning to live now. My husband was diagnosed in November 2009 with Glioblastoma Multiforme- terminal brain cancer. He was only 25 and I had literally just turned 23. He fought hard for almost 3 years before he passed away September 2012, just a month after turning 28.
This was my blog about our life.
This is still my space to find Hope.
This is now my public battle to show what life is like as a 25 year old Widow.
