DM me if you ever need a meal or some gas money, or a new outfit. I’m perfectly serious and hope you’ll reach out if you need anything. That pretty much goes for anybody reading this. We’re all going to need to stick together, and if $20 is going to give somebody a chance to get on their feet, I’m not too poor to keep that for myself.
I am also really good for some reason at finding jobs. I’ve worked a bunch of different jobs and kind of know the wheat from the chaff. Not professional stuff, but better than dashing and you don’t need a tie to apply.
Oh, wow, I genuinely appreciate that. And if you don’t mind I’ll send it along to a friend of mine in a similar boat. But I’m okay, personally. I’ve got family to rely on, and I’ll recover pretty soon. But I so seriously appreciate the offer. That means a lot.
I seriously cannot tell you how much I appreciate the offer. I was my mom’s caregiver, and I lost her in April. On top of everything else, losing the person I loved best, my best friend, that was also my only source of income. It’s been odd jobs and door dashing since. I’ll land on my feet soon. I’ve been going back and forth between Tennessee, where we lived, and south Carolina, where my brother is. My dad’s in TN, and he’s in bad shape. I need to get him out of the house he’s in, into some kind of public housing. I’m planning on starting nursing school in the fall, after I finish the last 20 credits of my BA. It’s just been the shitty year to end all shitty years.
I had a pretty medically difficult year last year, there didn’t seem to be an end to the misery. But here I am recovering from what should be the last surgery, and I’m seeing serious light at the end of the tunnel.
All that to say, holding on to hope for things to get better isn’t foolish, it’s human, and the longer you hold on the better your chances of seeing the other side. Hang in there bro
I’m sorry you’ve been through that. I’m glad you can see the light now.
Going through medical crises like that can be absolutely devasting. Are you in the US? I hope it hasn’t bankrupted you on top of everything else. We dealt with so much medical drama, if it hadn’t been for Medicare, we never would have made it through.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know that I’ll get through this. Financially, I can figure things out. I have people to rely on. So many that a big problem in my life is that I feel like I’m abandoning one brother to be with the other, or vice versa. I’ve been splitting my time between two states to get around that.
But being without my mom? She was literally everything to me. We lived together. I would leave to go to the store or something, and I would barely get out of the driveway before one of us called the other, and we’d be on the phone the whole time I was out. Cooking dinner would take hours some nights, because every few minutes I would pause what I was doing to dart into the other room to tell her this or that, or for her to tell me something. 34 years, and I don’t believe we ever had a single moment of awkward silence or a lull in conversation. I said for years it’s not a thing I thought I could survive, losing her. The thing I didn’t expect is that I’d just keep waking up every day. I never imagined my heart wouldn’t just give out. I’ll survive, I guess. But I don’t know that I’ll ever really live again.
Edit:
I’m sorry… That was a lot to throw out there. I’ll leave it because you’ve likely gotten the notification in your app, but… Sorry. Lol
Don’t apologize, it sounds like you two shared a lot of love and that’s awesome! Don’t get me wrong I love my mom and she’s covered my ass more times than I can count, but we’ll never share something like that. It sounds like you have lots of happy memories to reflect on and carry her with you. I hope someday soon waking up doesn’t come with that moment of disbelief and shock and you just happily remember perhaps making coffee together.
I’m lucky. Unbelievably lucky. Throughout my entire life friends have told me how much they wish Mama had been their mom. My sister in law was inconsolable when it happened. She was amazing. I got more time with her than anyone else. I feel like I got a rare gift. I have so many good memories, they’re uncountable. Thank you for the kind words. That really does help

Of course. I’m glad that you have family.
