Having a really hard time - Mom in hospital

Edger

I was stressed out from mom and emotionally worn out. Then the blizzard happened. Then a few weeks later mom has emergency hospitalization. She had operation. And has been in hospital a week. Probably at least four more days or more to go. I'm completely stressed out.
Trying to have positive attitude, take one day at a time but that isn't Natural for me. I also am worrying about husband. Feel like I want to throw up.

It's always super stressful when a family member is in the hospital. The best you can do is visit her and hang in there.

If you get a chance to take some time by yourself, do some yoga or take a nice walk in the snowy landscape to clear your head.

Sending Prayers your way.. I can't take it One Day at a Time.. Too Overwhelming.. I use the In The Moment Time.. Easier for me to deal with things in smaller periods..

When a loved one is in the hospital, it becomes so important to take a moment for yourself before you change places to help keep your brain in a focus that works for you.

Take short walks, go outside for a few minutes. These activities will give your brain a chance to adjust.

Best wishes.
