Totally selfish concerns

I really that this is a completely self absorbed post (and also pretty pointless because no one can do anything about it.)

My DH has an incurable illness and although he isn't as strong as he was - he is still able to do things with us as a family. This may be the last year that is the case though and so we had lots of things planned. I hate the phrase 'making memories' but I guess that what it was really.

Except we can't do any of it now. And I've got this awful feeling of time running out

Agree not selfish at all. Is there any way the plans could be altered slightly

nobucketlist · 14/03/2020 23:16

@UsernameUnknownn I think that's what I need to focus on and not be too negative. Just because we can't do what we planned doesn't mean we can't do anything at all.

Oh God, I'm so sorry OP. Not selfish at all. My DD is v upset tonight about cancelled trips and school events but your post puts everything into perspective. Memories can be made without going away or even out. Are there things you enjoy doing together at home that you can make special? A board game tournament, singing, draw your own portraits of each other? Sorry - maybe silly ideas. But you get my drift. I'm sure you will think of things that will suit your family. Sending you 💐

You're right @BabyLEphant
We just need to refocus and think of all the more simple things we can still do together (which will still be lovely.) Thank you for replying everyone. Was just having a moment.
