WooHoo for you, Blueskyday
! Prognosis not definite but not looking like red flags waving.
I think back to years ago when I was in a breast cancer study...signed on to go in every year for 5 years...all fine until the 3rd year when "something" was found and I was told to come in the very next day for tests.
On the way home I cried and cried...even thought of my Will. After a sleepless night I went in to have the procedure done...not so painful...results good. Here was me thinking my end was near. Lesson learned...don't cross bridges before you get to them...keep enjoying life until you get to that bridge.
Lesson learned? Hmmmm? In the time since, I know many bridges have been crossed before they were in sight... but I keep working on change...and with some success.
As I age I am realizing that "letting go" just could be the secret. That is not to say you do nothing to try to rectify a situation but you come to the point where you give yourself credit for doing all that you possibly could have done...and then you let go. When you think of it...possibly too much was being done...too much drama unfolding...maybe a quiet period of reflection needed?
I, too, am a Grandmother and my heart has hurt many times because of what those precious grandchildren of mine have had to live through. I feel your pain.
Blueskyday, life is really what
you make of it. For me, I am realizing that it is my choice as to whether or not I get really bothered about something. I have an almost 50 year history of dealing with my daughter's bpd behaviours. Currently we are in yet another period of no contact...one of so many...now 3 years long. While she will always be in one very important and special compartment of my life...I have found that there are other compartments to be discovered and enjoyed. Surprise, surprise...life has a way of turning out differently from what you would want...but workable.
Glad you are here, Blueskyday. Hope you keep feeling the support from this community and hope you keep working to stay on that path of healing and better tomorrows.
