Spiraling
This week has been hard,
Someone I love is spiraling.
Quite possibly to the point of no-return.
I have no ability to influence the situation. No ability to make them see reason. No ability to help them make better choices. Instead I am on the sidelines, watching. But this isn’t about me. My struggle on the sidelines is irrelevant right now.
What is relevant is the potential loss of a young life, a life with so incredibly much potential, and a person loved by so many.
If the stars align, attitudes change, and good choices are made, there is still hope. Hope that treatment will be a choice they make. And, then hope that a bed can be found, before it’s too late.
But, as much as I hope, I fear I will be going to a funeral, and my family will be torn apart once again.
* Please, if you are struggling, ask for help before it’s too late, people love you and people are here to help. Call a local help line or call a friend or a family member. Reach out and talk to someone like Crisis Services Canada – 1.833.456.4566.

I’m so sorry for your suffering in this. It is SO HARD to watch someone you love spiral down, and that helpless feeling goes against our nature to help and heal. Unfortunately, as you well know, all you can do is love them and be there if/when they come to you. I hope they reach out. Sending love!
