<strong> This past week has been rough. I have 2 favorite uncles. One died on Saturday after a long, horrible battle with dementia and the other had an emergency tumorectomy on Sunday</strong>. They are both in another state. I hate not being home. The uncle who died is an uncle by way of marriage to my favorite aunt on that side of the family. I want to be there to hug her, sit with her, cook for her. I hate it.<strong> I will miss his funeral, memorial and burial because I'm not willing to risk COVID exposure to go to Texas. This is so awful.</strong> <strong> As more people get vaccinated, there is this big push to just go back to normal. It makes me nervous because I'm still in survival mode.</strong> I need to include issues with reopening in my therapy sessions I guess.<strong> I have...what do you call it when you're still being traumatized? Not PTSD - TSD? Ugh.</strong>
