Is there a way to repair my relationship with my mother?
Instead of focusing on her relationship with her mom, Annie advises today's reader to take care of herself first.
Please be gentle with yourself. You are not being too dramatic; you are listening to your body and honoring your feelings, which is always a good idea. Feeling unsafe around your uncle is completely valid, and choosing to protect your well-being by avoiding situations where he is present is a healthy and courageous decision.Regarding “Lost at Potato Creek,” who lost his wife suddenly to cancer, no one can truly understand what he is going through except those who have experienced it themselves.
No. 4: Volunteer. Giving back can be both healing and rewarding. I began taking my dog, Teddy, to Moffitt Cancer Center every Thursday. It became one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life and even helped me connect with others, including widows and staff.
