Getting through


..the next few days is going to be tough. My A is finally leaving, moving back with family. Of course my emotions are all over the place. But right now I'm just trying to get through the next few days. I've tried to get him to start packing, he shows no interest, says he doesn't need anything. For awhile he had really cut back on the drinking to get in shape for the trip. Today he was drunk at 9 am and has stayed that way all day. I will probably end up packing for him, making my best guess as to what he might want to take. I will go with him to the airport but I can only go so far. My biggest cconcern is that he make it onto his flight sober.  I know that's something I can't control-but I SO wish I could! After he's gone I'm sure things will still be rough for me for awhile. But I  have absolutely no doubt that this is the best thing for both of us.  I've been having more than the usual talks with HP lately. Which helps tremendously, but I'm still having kind of a hard time here. Any ESH, support, prayers, hugs would all be very welcome right now.

Dear Pineapple

This is indeed a moment at a time situation. remember you can always mail him his things after he is settled.   I have kept your intentions in my prayers each day and will continue to do so.   The best suggestion is to Pray, live a moment at a time,and try to have a Plan B.   Can a friend fly with him? 

Keep sharing here you are in my thoghts

Hang in there Pineapple! This is an especially difficult time. Keep taking good care of yourself and try to just take it one moment at a time, like Betty said. We'll be thinking of you!

this is a huge loss hon. To face he is gone, to me would be like there is no more chance at all. Hurts! I worked myself to death, kept so busy.Then there were times I napped. Naps helped me lots.

Is there anywhere you can volunteer? Any job prospects? If there is a hospital or clinic nearby they would probaly love any help. I know for me, helping others makes me feel better.

One day at a time, do your best to have fun.Do you feel safe without him there?

come here a lot and tell us how you are doing. Do you have a blog? I know getting each days stuff down helps me. I use my fb for that.

Well uno I care about you. It will get easier, just feel it out and let it go. hugs hon, debilyn
