The last year has been a year of medical news, not positive mind you. First one loved one then another. One was terminal and now the other one is quite serious. Professionally, a lot of goals were achieved and new ones created. Life's challenges keep coming at one quite quickly without giving you any time to react or to pause.
In this one year, my immediate family drifted and is now a shadow of what it used to be. I realised that us 3 have no sibling bonds remaining anymore to speak of. We are like acquaintances, casually nodding to eachother across a packed room.
I yearn for a rest or even a short pause, knowing full well I will not get any. With that acknowledgement, there's nothing left but to beat on, boats against the current....
I saw this with my husband. The fallout of other relationships in the wake of his mother’s passing was an unexpected loss he wasn’t expecting. It’s insane how much one person is holding together that you realize after they’re gone.
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry about your siblings . I sometimes fear I’m losing mine no matter how much work I put in.
Here’s hoping to better news and turning tides in 2025. Himmat e mardan maddad e khuda.
