A year in the Gulf of Mexico on a boat sounds wonderful!

Is there really only four pages of my journal left? Seriously? Dang! Since my computers bit the dust I've been trying to salvage what I could of stuff I've written and images I've collected. I was really counting on recovering a bunch of stuff from this web site. Dang. It's probably ov's fault.

Mom died 2 weeks ago. I've been here with her for the last few years and this year we spent fighting her health. In and out of the hospital, into rehab, back to the hospital, etc. We lost. No siblings. Dad died in 1974. There's no one else in my life. I am unmarried, and I have no children at 45. This doesn't feel like home anymore. It feels like she took it with her. It just feels like the house I was born in and really nothing more. I've never lost anyone before and this feels huge. I'm so lost. I have aches and pains everywhere since she died. It scares me. I don't know if it's depression or cancer. I can't muster up enough strength or courage to go to a doctor. My will to live has been waining for years. This year I had a purpose. Now, I don't.
I hate my job and it makes me miserable.
I think I'm in deep trouble.
This post will be something that I've forgotten about and any replies will get lost in the thread because it will expire with the timeline.
The original journals were always there to go back to. I sure wish they still were. I may go scatterbrained through all this and I just don't have the energy to search back when I finally think about it.
It may have been cheaper, less trouble and more efficient to have ditched them, but shit. I feel like i knew I was going to need them when they were taken away. And I would talk more if they were around. Instead, I'm going to go to a counselor. I have to. Life has never felt lonelier.
Courage manifests itself in myriad ways, small and large. You have summoned it by posting this here. You have it. Trust in that. Wishing you the best.
