:giveup:I've had some (more) bad news today about my Niece, who,sadly,is terminally ill.
My first response after coming off the phone to my Sister, was to open the cupboards and fridge, looking for something to eat
I'm not going to, because I really want to succeed on this and I know that eating won't alter the situation one bit, but it's so hard when that's the way I've always coped with things. I'm struggling to find an alternative to it, to be honest with you all.
I bet if Nick was here with me, she'd tell me off herself for turning to food, so I'm focussing on that as much as I can.
It's a bit harder for me, coz I'm a Macmillan Nurse, and not only have inside knowledge of her condition, but talk to people in a similar situation all day and feel sometimes I've used up all my reserves of strength.
I'm trying to give support to my Sister and family (all down in Cornwall) so it's all a terrible strain.
Sorry for being on such a downer, but my OH is working till midnight and just needed to do a post to keep me out of the fridge etc. :wave_cry:
