and that was truly shocking and exhillerating when she explained about the 'other jane' and SO much makes sense when it's put back over the things she has said previously.
sense. as in - it fits. and makes some things that seemed random to be not so random now. (though there still is random of course...)
Wow! I love reading your posts about your triumphs and set-backs - I learn so much!
And you know I'm thrilled that Jane is making so much progress, and the fact that you're posting less means you're able to spend more time with her and also living your life, and that's great.
Many, many hugs to you and Jane and Les. I couldn't be more thrilled at the progress you're all making.
Ah, dear magicofisis, thanks so much for your hugs, your thrilled and your support. I know I post less -- for reasons you point out -- butit's still important to know there are others out there reading & caring. I often feel somewhat selfish, in that I'm not lj-lurking, keeping up with you & my other friends. But I'm glad to know that, in these posts, perhaps in a way I'm giving. ANd that's important to me, too -- trying to find a balance in all these imbalances.
And of course, Jane's progress is what's most important.
SO glad to read your post. Jane is tremendous and is so wonderfully with you and Les again, it must be fantastic for you all. This was quite touching to read, and you tell it so well, how Jane saw herself from outside herself, so there seemed to be two of her. What an amazingly intelligent and perceptive woman to recognise this so soon, and to be able to express it so eloquently after only two short months from nearly being taken from you altogether. You are all so lucky to have her. And she, she is more than lucky to have you. I think that between you, you and Les have saved her life. Totally selfishly, of course, because you would neither of you let go and you just simply loved her, gently and persistently and fiercely, back to health and normality.
She will get there. You will get her back totally. Please give her a big bear hug just from me. A special one. Jane darling, I love you. God bless Avus.
Ah, dearest Kate, some days it's fantastic, and some days it's tiring, and some days it's exhilarting, and some days it's confusing. We're pretty ordinary folks here, in so many ways.
That it is touching to you, that means a lot to all of us. For all days, in spite of what else we're feeling, we're certainly all touched by this, and it helps that in some way, this is shared. We very much feel so lucky to have her still, though Jane sometimes feels that we're less-than-lucky to have her the way she is.
She will get there -- that I do believe, though it's so good to see you say this, too. And I will, indeed, give her a hug. Weekend coming up, not tomorrow (Sat.), but the day after, and so we'll be able to spend some more time together. That always helps -- Jane, Les & me.
Hope things go well with you & your family & your beloved. And blessings coming back at you,
Reading about Jane's confusion and difficulties working out the order and nature of some of the events she's been through, it becomes more obvious how lucky she is to have you there to talk things through with her and help her work out exactly what's going on. Her - dissociation? - from the accident sounds really distressing for her, and it's great that you've been able to face it and talk it through and come to terms with it. It's really great to hear about her continued progress, and particularly to hear that things are working out for her in her own head, even with difficulty! That's the most important place, after all!
I think she's not fully come to terms with it, though she's made a good start. I suspect coming to terms with her reality is something that we'll be working on for some time to come. The confusion in her mind and her speaking is still very great, and so things often don't stay worked out, or they need to work out again as she improves and realizes more. It can be a true rollercoaster for her.
But as she states over & over, her love for us keeps bringing her back again & again. We count so much on that.
