Well.. this really isn't the holiday any of us would have expected. My bf dad died during the night. The family and his doc had determined that he needed long term care about three weeks ago. There are lots of feelings of guilt now that bf's mom and siblings are experience. I'm trying to be supportive and thankfully bf and I are both in the program and have it's principles to lean on at this time. I guess this is my turn to be there for bf the way he was for me two years ago. He said to me, "Now I know exactly how you felt." We're never ready to lose our parents. Please keep his family in your prayers today. I am leaning on my hp to guide me with the right words of comfort and support and when being silent is best. I hope your Sunday and holiday if you celebrate is filled with love and serenity. Thank you for your prayer and support. (((hugs)))) TT

Thank you (((everyone))) for your prayers and support. I've decided to take today off and be supportive of him as he goes through this. This is an important choice for my growth because because my job is on the line now and I work in an environment that expects employees to compartmentalize their personal lives and treat the workplace as their hp. This may very well be why I've been stressed and ill at times - been pushing away hp's will and acting from a place of self will. My own supervisor is very supportive but as of last week, she is no longer my supervisor and unless I land a job somewhere else in the company I will be gone in a matter of a few months. I'm being considered right now for a just a handful of jobs in my office up against many internal candidates. So.. people are watching everyone at work and how they work and their choices. To thine own self be true. I once read in a well know book on living a healthful, spiritual, financially abundant life that a successful journey begins with putting people first in your life. This supports my recovery and hp's will for me. I know because I feel serene not fearful. I realize I'm in a work environment of workaholics and just am not fitting there. I've been looking outside and I know hp will lead me to the right place for me. Today I can make helping my bf through the death of his dad yesterday my priority by just being around and listening and helping with something if asked. TT
