Long Distance Stress

Have your family get in touch with the Mormon church here. They will take care of them. I would call but, I am not LDS.

My family isn't active anymore well...my mom and her people aren't. And I went so far as to have my name removed from the churches records....so I'm not in their good graces lol. I will nudge her in that direction. I have done my best in paying for the hotel, other family members are now aware, so I can rest knowing I have done all I can Thank you guys for being there through this. I'm not close to my stepdad....at all. But I hold my mother dear and feel guilty Im not there to pick up the pieces when she goes a bit mad. Oh well. I will remind her of the churches willingness to help when it comes time to make funeral arrangements.

Thank you guys for caring so much. Seriously. I've never met any of you and have only chatted with some of you and you have held me up when I was about to fall. I can't say thank you enough.

I had a good cry earlier and I came to the realisation, I am a grown ass woman. I have my own life and problems....so whilst I am willing and want to help, I cannot expect to save the world. That type of thinking probably contributed to a lot of stress eating. I am not superwoman...not even close.

That's a great attitude to take. I hope you can hold it close when things go south again. Remember that you can only do your best -- and that your first responsibility is to take care care of yourself first, your husband second, and then do what you can for your family if you can. Stay strong and focus on getting yourself healthy!!

Doesn't matter if they are active or not. Call the LDS Church and ask for help. They have all kinds of resources and connections! Hope things start improving for them. And know you have done what you can!!!!

Thanks guys I'm doing much better now. I don't deal with death...like at all. When people die, I have a hard time crying and appearing normal. Last night I cried because I couldn't be there in my mothers darkest hour, not because someone died. Im not heartless, so please don't think that, I just have a dissociative coping mechanism. It has been super helpful having you guys to type to, and the hugs thoughts and prayers are more than welcome. So thanks again. I'm going to let this thread RIP now. I have guided my mother to LDS church, and the VA office as Dave was a Vietnam vet. My aunt in Cali has also stepped in so between my aunt and my little sister, I know my mother is in good care.

Thank you all again.

I know it's not halloween....but I have a morbid sense of humour...and a blueberry death guy seems appropriate for my last post on this thread.
