It’s been a rough couple of weeks and I’ve been felling somewhat abandoned. I also feel like I’m whining again. Which irritates me, because I hate whining, especially when it’s me doing it.

So I took a page from last week and found someone else to talk about abandonment. There is a wonderful blog post Abandonment | The Caregiver Space. 

One of the great takeaways for this post is that abandonment can cut both ways. Both the caregiver and caregivee can feel left out but family/friends can also feel like I don’t have time for them either.

Also, sometimes you just have to let people go. Circumstances change and we can’t (and shouldn’t try) to be everything to everyone.

This is the first post I’ve read by Renee Palumbo. I think I’ll go through her other posts as some of her category titles include grieving and death which indicates to me, she’s ahead of where I am in this process. I love her voice and it feels like she’ll be able to help me along in my journey.
