Jo,

You know you are welcome here at anytime. I know how hard this med change has been for you, but the finish line is now visible. You got through it this afternoon, and again tonight. Yes, I was there, but Jo, you need to start taking the credit for getting yourself through things for yourself.

I can't make you get through it. I can't pull you through it so that you come out the other side. Only YOU can do that. And you did. You know what you have to do, and if you need me I'm only a phone call away, for any extra support you need.

Your grandma's birthday is going to be a challenge for you. But you will get through this, just like you come through everything else. Instead of dwelling on how your going to get through it, dreading it, wishing it weren't going to happen, do something you both would have loved doing.

Do it for her, and do it for yourself. Your allowed to be upset on that day hun. But just remember she will always love you, and she will always be watching over you. She would want you to remember her in the happy days. Be happy for her. Smile.

It's all nearly over hun. Just hang in there abit longer, you will get there. Hugs are here whenever you need them ok. Get yourself some rest for the long week ahead. You know where I am should you need me.

Mwaa,
Stace xxx

Hi Jo

You are really on the downhill stretch of the med changeover. Hopefully, you don't have too many side-effects from the new ones - and that they cut in quickly.

Stace is right about your grandmother's birthday. Celebrate it. Get a cake and eat your piece and hers as well. Think about birthday times that you enjoyed together.

Be kind to yourself

Hi Joanne,

Almost over now, thankfully. I am glad that you had someone to be with during the bad times with the withdrawal symptoms, makes it so much easier.

Good luck with the next few days, hope you can make it through okay.

Sending a great big hug your way: (((((((((((((((JO))))))))))))))

Hang in there, not long to go now.

All the best, from Kitty

Jo

You will make it with these meds withdrawals. You know how I know this - because you are a determined woman and the world needs more like you.

Wednesday is going to be tough but celebrate her birthday and like the others have said do some you and she enjoyed doing - I know with my 104 year old grandmother it was cooking when we were kids. The cake idea is a good one. Just do something to take you mind off the day and the changing of the meds. It might be hard but if you are up to it, and it is close to you, go and visit her crypt or grave and take a bunch of flowers.

I am so glad you and Stace sorted things out and you were determined to see her and she was there to help you. Like I have said previously, you are good for each other and if every depnetter had such a friend we would be so lucky/benefit greatly.

Please if I am ever out of line at all, you will tell me to mind my own business/go away.

Go Jo!!!

Dear Jo,
I will say a prayer for you that tomorrow is an easier day for you this year. You will always remember your grandmother, and feel sadness on the day she passed away, but each year will get a little easier.
I am proud of you for being so strong through your med changes. It is not nice...I have gone through them also quite a few times.
Bigs Hugs & Heaps of Support.
Love, Valerie x0x
