I have been so down lately. This past year and a half has just been too much. Last Feb my FIL was dx with prostate cancer which thank god they have taken care of, then in June we had a beautiful little girl while on my last week of maternity leave in Aug my mom who I was extremely close to passed away, then there were the holidays and her birthday we had to get through which was extremely tough. In May our dog died and my grandmother (moms mother) passes away, now my other grandmother (dads mom) is not doing well at all. My DH works crazy hours 7 days on 2 off 7 days on 5 off but he is only off every 3rd weekend. He works a combo of days and nights so his sleep is all messed up. Honestly I am just drained. It has really hit me this past week or so. I don't know whats up I cry at the drop of a hat. Just needed to get this out sometimes I feel I am going crazy Now we are coming up on 1 year since my mom passed and all these emotions are just taking over. UGGGHHHH really I think I just need to break down have a good cry and hope it helps. I fear my dads mother is not going to make it and I just don't want him to have to go through that espically right now. Thanks if you made it this far!

I had a year like that a while ago. My Dad died, one month later I was laid off from my job of 9 years, tried to care for my severely impacted Alheimer's Mom after Dad died while pregnant and with a 12 to16 month old, finally had to place my Mom in a home, which she never wanted but she was getting violent, had the baby at 32 weeks who had to stay in the NICU for a while then was on a heart/lung monitor for 6 months, was told DH was being laid off while in the hospital the day after the baby was born (while I was still unemployed myself because apparently no one wants to hire a very pregnant employee). I am telling you this to let you know that it will get better. Go ahead and cry all you want. Sometimes it feels like life hits us hard all at the same time. You will make it through. The first anniversary is the hardest. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
