So I sit here questioning where am I going wrong. Today we
started with a headache episode around 5am. I was woken up by a loud thud sound
only to find my husband beating his head against the wall again trying to deal
with the pain. After giving him all his meds I then had to console him just so
he could calm down enough to fall asleep. I keep asking what triggered this
one, and what could we have done to prevent it. Unfortunetly there is no easy
answer to these questions. I still have not quite come to terms that there
sometimes are no triggers, it just is.
I go through the
moments at least once or twice a week and yet I thought we were getting better.
Apparently I spoke to soon. I am beyond exhaustion due to lack of sleep lately,
and I can’t let my husband see that because if I do then he will hide his pain
from me as to not subject me to his problems. I tell him no matter what he must
tell me so I know to monitor him and determine whether he is fit to drive kids
to school or to take care of the baby.
I have these days where I just want to curl up in a corner
and make the world disappear but unfortunately life is too busy for me to have
those moments. The last time I really got some free time with no hubby/kid
involvement was about 5 months ago when I took a weekend trip to go see my
uncle for the last time before he passed away. It was a wonderful trip but I
was constantly wanting to check in on my family to make sure my husband was
feeling ok.
I hope and pray that by doing these blogs on a regular basis
I can remove all the negative thoughts that jumble my brain and move forward
with the positive thoughts of how much I love my husband and how proud I am of
him and all he suffers through everyday.
Hey Erin..it's sometimes very hard to be "real". I admire that about this post. I will know specific ways to pray for you guys now. Our Lord Jesus is strong, it's a comfort to give it to Him. Stacey
