Jo,
I like the sound of this new T and especially that she is validating you which you richly deserve. I think the last was a nutjob, if you'll pardon the term.

I'm sorry about your father, it's so difficult to lose a parent. And I'll agree with Hollybaby (smart woman that!) and invite you to lean on us as much as you need to.

Hi Jo... I know you have a lot to deal with while your new T is away but you can come here and talk and we will support you. I sort of know how you feel. My Dad passed away 5 years ago now after being ill for a year and then mom, who was having memory issues got much worse and was diagnosed with Alzheimers. That went on for 4 years and she passed on last January. Thank goodness I found my T two months before she died. He helped me so much and just having a place and someone to run to when things felt out of control was an enormous relief to me.

So until your T gets back from Italy we are here to support you.

THANK YOU!

Your reassurances of being here during this difficult time is a relief!

I so appreciate all of you.

I will try to check in here every day and comment.

Thanks for being here for me.
