Sorry to hear that, it can be rough and sometimes these things come along like busses. This time last year I was preparing to attend the third of four funerals in under four months. I'm only in my 40s and one was for a family member younger than me. That one was hard.
Then two months later my dad was rushed to hospital, and we then also got the diagnosis that the mother in law was confirmed as suffering from dementia whilst also fighting the return to two types of cancer. Trying to get someone to have a routine, or even remember, to take tablets and attend appointments, is hard with that evil condition.
This year we've only had one auntie in hospital for a suspected stroke, but my message is to keep thinking positively and, even for just one second a day, let one good thought in.
It won't always feel so terrible, and you shouldn't let it stop you having fun or smiling. Life gets this way sometimes, so vent away if you need, nobody has to go it alone, even if it's on a football forum jammed full of puns and innuendo.
