To tell you that I am tired would be an understatement. And in this time period of doing paperwork and talking to people, talking to everybody, CNAs, doctors, lawyers, specialists. It's like a phone orgy, but one you don't enjoy. I know that's horrible. But that's what this is for, feelings. And that's how it feels.
Imagine being in the thick of life's transitions, where every box packed and every paper signed carries the weight of memories and emotions.
