“So as Life Happens, mom went back into the ICU last night. Two weeks in
the hospital, then a week at home (tethered to an oxygen machine in my
guest room), then yesterday back to the hospital. Now we're seeing
pulmonary embolisms to deal with (guesstimate two weeks), so they can
deal with the interstitial lung disease (guesstimate four months), so she
can go under anesthesia and they can deal with tumors (indefinite).
“Now, my grandma (who is 92 and needs daily support also) just called to
tell me that she is coming out to visit, until things get stabilized. So I'll
have two ladies needing my ongoing help starting Friday or so.”
“Even **I** can't be the whole village.”

“I feel like a wounded predator in its cave, licking my
wounds but ready to shred anyone who fucks with me
right now. I've been in aggressive-defense-keep-
serving-others mode all day in between hospital,
cancer, mom in pain, school, aftercare program, child in
pain, and the little bully that punched my kid.”

LEARNING TO RECEIVE
@christine Ignite YxYY005
LEARNING ACCEPTANCE
• You can’t fix everything, or please everyone
• You won’t get enough sleep
• You’ll eat like shit
• Cherish your moments of mindfulness (and selfishness)
• Plans are made to be broken
You will constantly feel like you are not doing something
you should be doing…and that’s OK
