Need a hug

I have been taking care of my mother who is battling breast cancer. Chemotherapy was very scary and stressful with her body not accepting the medicine during the first two cycles and unforeseen complications due to the medical negligence of the nurse(who administered the chemo medicine to the muscle instead of her vein) in the last cycle.

We completed radiation a week ago, on a medical pause now. Next week, we have to meet the doctor for the next course of treatment.

Last year, she was in a really bad car accident and had to be under special care for many months. Eventually, she healed and started walking slowly. Back then, I was juggling work and medical duties.

I had been running on reserve and pushing it with prayers. But now, I cannot seem to find the energy to do my basics even. I love my mother, have taken a break from my career and want to help her in the best way possible. But I'm really seeking a small break just to sleep, if nothing else.

And a hug. 😭
