Oh!!   
Mia...it's so sad to go through.
Thinking of you,

Oh mia!  I am so glad things are a little better with you at the moment and I know that you will be trying to be all things to everyone at the moment but.....take some time for you - it is not selfish but very necessary if you are to cope - I learnt that the hard way 

Anyway I am thinking of you

I am so happy to hear that your mother has turned the corner and is doing better now, and that your stepmother has taken her last treatment.

I will keep both of them, and YOU, in my thoughts and prayers and wishing them both good recoveries.

I know that you want to do all that you can for each of them, but please remember to take care of yourself during this time!

Sending you much love and strength and courage for these next days and weeks.

Thank you for your thoughts and for your support. It is really helpful. Just came home from the hospital. Every day I do so with a little bigger hope for mother who is improving by the day. A plan for her continued care is being made that we all feel very good about. Stepmother has now moved home with nurses coming there to help as long as it is needed.

We have a good health care in Sweden.

I feel exhausted at the moment for many reason. Had a mother - daughter discussion yesterday that became a little too much. It is all sorted out now so all is well. Except the exhaustion. I am seeing my own  doctor on Wednesday, I think I need to get some help to sleep. Maybe some counselling too for some time.

Dear (((((((((((((((((Mia)))))))))))))))))))))) --

To follow HR, this is good to hear on all counts.  I truly wish all will be well regarding each issue.
Thinking of you, your exhaustion, feelings, etc.

Much hugs,
kathy

YOU need some support and help yourself. Sleep is important, and some "mental" time away from it all.

I wish you every possible luck to get some personal relaxation.

Take care of yourself too, Mia

you've been giving so much the last weeks, it is time for you to think about yourself, too. get what you need to feel better!

[Miaisland]

Your support is wonderful and overwhelming ((((friends)))

Today I took a lot of the day 'off' and spent it with Andy who was visiting Stockholm for the day. It was a really good day, the weather and everything was perfect.

I feel much better now. And the news from the hospital are good today. Healing process has begun for both my mother and stepmother.

 

Thank you all for being here. It means much more than I can express.

Love!

Great way to spend the day Mia 

I am so pleased for you bet it gave you a much needed boost!

Excellent news, Mia, and how could you not feel better after spending the day with Andy?

^^^^^

Haha! Great news, Mia!! And I cherish the time I had with you, and Jess, and Andy in Oxford!

Never enough time, but better than never.....

[janjo]

I can't tell you how much I regret not having more time to talk to you when we were in Oxford, John. I hope we can get together again at some time in the future. Brokies being what they are. I feel sure we will.
