Taking a break / poorly sister

Posts: 423 Listening Ear
Hi,
I just wanted to post this to say that i'm taking a little break from my phone and technology in general so i won't be able to reply to any messages or anything for a bit.
My little sister fell really ill last night and she's in icu at the moment on a ventilator. I'm really really worried and i really don't know what i'd do if we lost her. och. the thought makes my chest hurt a lot.
also, all the news of the anger and hatred in the world right now is bringing me down and it's nearly impossible to avoid, so im just gonna give my phone to my mam for a couple of weeks.
This doesnt actually need replies bbut if you wanted to reply, im kinda a wreck atm so any positive thoughts and kindness in general is really appreciated
thanks as always.

I'm really sorry to hear about your sister and what you're going through. It’s completely understandable to need a break during such a difficult time. Your focus should be on your family and taking care of yourself right now.
I’m sending all my positive thoughts and strength your way. If you need anything or just someone to talk to when you're ready, know that I'm here for you. Wishing your sister a speedy recovery and hoping you find some peace and comfort during this tough period. Take all the time you need.
The world is a frightening place right now and you're right that it's a lot to hold. You're strong, you're surrounded by lots of support here, and we'll be here when you come back. Thinking of you
It's so much to be going through right now and I wanted to echo everyone else's lovely comments to let you know we're all here for you when you're ready to come back. Sending so many hugs your way
take all the time you need and we'll still be here when you get back - take care of yourself
My sister is doing good also . I cant wait for her to be home again with us
Great to hear from you bro and your sister is doing well too.
It's great to hear you're back and your sister is doing well too bro.
some of my family are working away at some land my mam bought so I’m staying with some people I don’t really like too much and it is kind of difficult but I get to come back to my mams house every day to spend time with my pets so that feels good too.
I miss my family a bit 😅 I struggle to hear on the phone and my mam can’t type too good because she can’t spell so it’s a bit isolating but I think it won’t be for a long time and I text my cousin to see if we can set up a 5 a side so I’m gonna look forward to that
I'm sorry where you're staying isn't feeling entirely comfy. It's positive to hear that you do get to go back to your mam's house daily to see your pets and that you're setting up a 5 a side with your cousin, that sounds so fun!
We're here for you @Slinky. Are you able to see your mam and family when you go back home or are they working away the whole time?
Does your mam know how to use speech to text? Like when you talk to your phone and it turns it into typed words. It doesn’t always work very well but you could try it.
Big hugs 💙
Ik my sister will be fine now
Yeh my family / community have moved up north for a few weeks to do some work on some land. They took the trailers so I had no where to stay other than here. My cousin is staying with me too tho and we get on well. it is more strict here and I’ll never moan about living with my uncle again😂 . We also have 3 houses on our encampment but 2 are full and one is completely empty. I think/ hope my mam will move into one so we can live very near each other but I think mam didn’t decide what she wants to do yet 😅
So me and my cousin are staying here until either my mam gets home or our community moves back to the encampment . But ik everyone is busy so it feels fine
Also @AnonymousToe yaa😂 that’s what mams using to text me. our accent is so brutal it doesn’t pick up on what we say and sends gibberish and then when I reply my mam can’t read it so I just have to reply with simply words aha its only short term though
but my sister should be coming home tomorrow. I missed her so bad and I don’t think I went 5 minutes without thinking of her . I feel like I can breathe now and can’t wait to give her a big hug .
Also just really looking forward to normality and not living with dopes
I wanted to check in and see how your sister is doing and if she able to come home in the end? It can be so incredibly hard going through something like this with someone we care about so much. It’s completely understandable that she’s been on your mind and that you've missed her so much.
I'm really hoping things settle back into some sense of normality for you all soon and you're able to give her the big hug you've been wanting to do! Sending lots of strength to your sister too and hope she continues to get stronger and stronger
She just got home yesterday and is on the mend 😊
Your kindness is really appreciated. I hope your last day treats you well💚
