Hi this isn't about me but events have left me totally frazzled, delicate and extremely fragile this last couple of days and I'm struggling to work out why it has affected me as much as it has.
I work with young people and last year one of our girls left to become a full time carer for her mum who was suffering lung cancer. I found out yesterday that mum passed away a few weeks ago and I very unexpectedly became overwhelmed with sadness for this young girl. I paid her a home visit today to express my sorrow at the passing of her mum and she told me that her brother who was 31 suffered a haemorrage ont he day of her Mum's funeral and has also passed away. i really had to struggle to keep myself together.
Anyway I am home know. The girl is leaving the area to start a new life today I tried to be upbeat and said that she must have a strong constitution and that she has been through a really tough time that many wouldn't have coped with. It's a great reminder that our day to day problems pale in comparison.
Please remember this girl - I'll call her JH - in your thoughts today to give her strength for the future.

RE: Fragile today
My love and thoughts are with you both. I would have been just as overwhelmed as you in this situation. It's very hard not to experience their grief and break down too, esecially as this was so very hard, but you didn't, so well done.
I wish her all the best in her new start in life. May she flourish.
And may you take comfort in that you helped herwith your empathy.
