Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis
Encouraging you gently with your diet too, at times of high stress, healthy eating along with adequate rest can make a heap of difference. As with all things carer, easier said than done...

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis
Can I ever so gently remind you that we sometimes put unnecessary pressure on ourselves. No matter how much we love, no matter how much we protect, no matter how quickly, or if indeed even if we do respond in good time there are things we cannot stop.
