Went to visit a good friend in hospital yesterday. She is dying of cancer, and will leave behind a 4yo DS and her DH. So sad .
Left feeling so grateful for my lovely DCs and DH, and with a big lump of perspective. Determined to be more positive and be more grateful for everything I have, especially health & love.
Fast forward to today. Possibility of redundancy at my work, DHs job looking less than secure. Then see a fb message from bf saying her DH has got fantastic new job. She has recently got a promotion too.
Suddenly felt totally jealous and fed up (about job, tiny house, diy disasters etc). This is turning out to be a bad year for us, but nothing compared to what my ill friend and her family are going through. How can I be so ungrateful to be feeling jealous of a friend whilst another friend is dying. Hate the fact I am such a jealous ungrateful person.
I am totally BU, I know. Just needed to vent.
