Ag man… I’m so sorry you’re still feeling grotty!
Would your grandparents not consider switching church communities with you for a while?

I think the letter and the cake will be lovely ways to remember her by…I’ll be thinking of you all day long, I know it’s going to be very hard for you.

Ps! Could this illness you’re having be a side effect of dealing with the stress of your evil mother and the big day you’re facing tomorrow? Stress is sometimes a bit of a poison…

Good idea to move congregations even if only temporarily. You need to distance yourself from the WHOLE situation, grandparents and all. Jamie’s birthday is just one more stressful anniversary to add to all that you’re going through. The way forward is to focus all your energy on getting better, physically and emotionally. It looks like you put yourself on a big guilt trip though too with your grandparents. Your mom has been giving them grief like this since before you were even born. You are not going to be able to solve it and you really really need to distance yourself from it. I was watching an elderly lady (79) on tv on the weekend (inspiring women) who is accomplishing much even at her age and has goals even at such an advanced age. She said something which touched me and that is: She has nothing to do with negative people because they might tell her she can’t do something and she has much that she wants to do. You need to keep away from negative people or at the very least, if people (family) start being negative, excuse yourself and leave! Be selfish until you are stronger. You cant help anyone until you have helped yourself. I firmly believe this.
