My husband and I have worked hard our entire lives. Now that we’re in our sixties and the kids are all moved out and doing their own things, we’ve made the decision that it’s time to treat ourselves. Neither of us have ever come from well-off families. Our houses while growing up were nothing special. …
Two months on from the death of my friend’s grandparents and I am pleased to say that everyone is doing well. There have been many tears shed over the last couple of months, which is completely normal and to be expected.

I am so tired. Like seriously exhausted. My body feels heavy and slightly shaky. My brain feels foggy. Everything feels like an effort. I just want to crawl into bed and sleep for the next ten hours, but I can’t do that because I’m an adult and I have responsibilities. Being an adult sucks sometimes. …
