You know it's strange you don't often hear of people on these boards at least discussing this complicated process but I know that being in a dysfunctional childhood where I was blamed for my Mother's illness and death and being her caretaken left me feeling it was all my fault. I stuffed it and kept busy with school and dating and marrying and moving til now and now that I have no choice in whether I work or not. I know my problem it's lack of time left on this earth and knowing I can't change the past or the future. So after trying unsuccessfully with a threapist to come to terms with age and aging I was told well you aren't well and it's a year. I was basically given a time frame and life isn't like that. Like oh take tylenol and your headache will be gone. Jay I know how devastating your illness is for you and being so young. Is there really an answer? And yes I'm angry as I need more time which means a longer life. Honestly I feel cheated. I appreciate your well thought out replies and see what a complex topic it is. More threads by others would be helpful. Love to both Phillipa/Jan
