Five weeks ago Z's mum was in hospital where the diagnosis of 'chronic bronchitis' became 'suspected malignancy in the right lung'. The fact that it was lung cancer did not surpirse anyone considering a) how much the woman smoked and b) that she had worked in the chemical industry all her adult life. It also wasn't surpising since since the bombing ( Read more... )

family, death, tiredness, z

the shock of it was so tangible that it occupied the room with us, had its own seat at the table.

Yep. I know that one.

I also know how hellish immigration things can be, and I didn't even have such an excruciating reason to get where I was going.

Fainting on the way to the bathroom is also no good! :-)

So much empathy; so much sympathy. I hope you and Z are as well as reasonably be expected. xx

Thank you, we are. Sometimes I think the illness I have now is my body's way of processing all the stress of the mind. But, we're healing.

Thank you for the sympathy in the time of need. :)

I think the illness I have now is my body's way of processing all the stress of the mind.

Could be. That's certainly happened to me. Take care. x

Oh my. My heart is with you. Again, I can only say how glad I am that you have each other during this time.

Thank you. :) I'm glad of it too - feel good knowing that at least I was there to support him, and that this made a difficult situation easier.

In a way it feels like bonding on a deeper loyaly level too, drawing closer together, becoming war-buddies. Also, he owes me one for future childbirth. ;)

Oh what a terrible shock to have. My condolences to Z. As someone else has said, I'm so pleased you have one another/he has you in such a trying time.

*healthy vibes flying your way* I hope you feel better now?

Thank you :) Yes, I'm glad I was around too and I know it made the whole thing easier for him...

I am feeling utterly exhausted mostly, but I think that's because I have a period on top of illness.

Still though... I am healing.
How are you?

(Was so excited to read of your world trip thing!)
