2022 was a year with hard trials, especially the second half.
I woke up alone, in a situation for which I had not been prepared either physically or emotionally, which I didn't know how to manage.
There were moments when I felt overwhelmed, when I thought that whatever I did was not enough, there were always situations that I thought had no way out. I was crying and wanted to run away and hide in the most distant and darkest corner of the world, where I would no longer see the suffering in her eyes and where I would no longer feel the pain and helplessness in my soul.
It's just that when someone depends on you, you can't, you don't have the luxury of giving up, you have to stay and face everything, no matter how hard it is. You have to get up, shake off all the dark thoughts, repeat to yourself endlessly "I am stronger than that, I can and I must go on!".
And, yes, I learned during this whole period that I am much stronger than I thought and that no metter what, no matter how hopeless a situation seems to be, I have the ability to face it and to face my own fears.
I still have nightmares and the question still haunts me if I did everything I could, but I'm learning to accept the fact that sometimes there are things we can't completely control and I'm moving on, because yes, I'm strong!
Oh this is so powerful. Yes, it sucks to be the one they depend upon because you hate seeing them suffer and you never know if you are doing all that you can. I love that you have recognized how much you can take and how strong you are to take it. I'm sorry you are still be plagued by questions, and I'll pray you will find peace. You deserve it. Thank you for sharing and for playing along with this challenge.
