Dying with Debra

Hopefully A Long Running Series

February 13,2023

I didn’t write in my journal last night.

I had a 23 day streak going, but I didn’t write.

I’ve written through my whole journey so far. From diagnosis to treatment to treatment to treatment. But yesterday and last night…I didn’t write.

I didn’t write because I have been overwhelmed with despair. Despair is not an emotion that I want to welcome. I don’t want to name it. And I don’t want to share it.

but there it is.

I’m just tired of being in pain. I’m tired of days on end of getting through the hours and waiting for a better day. That’s the way it is now though. I trade bad days for good ones.

Just writing that makes me feel better. I hear your responses in my head encouraging me and sending your love. I’m okay. The dark clouds have blown over.

    I wish I could ease your pain Deb.
    I pray everyday that God gives you peace, courage, strength and comfort. You are doing the best that you can in this battle and that’s enough. Every day has a new beginning.

    Your continuing strength has been truly inspiring. You are certainly allowed to feel as you feel, on low days and high (!) days. So much love to you and peace inside. You do have a wonderful support system…you ARE important!
