What a week. We've been pulling together as a family and trying our best to keep our heads above water. Originally, I didn't intend to say anything, but for me, it's hard to write a lifestyle blog and not be up front about what's happening in my life.
My dear, sweet mom & best friend was rushed to ICU on Monday and has been there ever since - we're very lucky that she's pulling through. However, she still has a rocky road ahead of her and is facing some serious rehabilitation. I've spent my days & nights at the hospital, holding her hand while she's been unconscious, and I prayed countless times. I'm thrilled those prayers were answered. To those of you who have lost a parent, my heart goes out to you. It's undoubtedly one of the most difficult things to face and the spiral of emotions is overwhelming. My mom is young and healthy and this has come as a complete shock to our family.
In the meantime, I'll still be popping in and blogging + keeping my Etsy shop going. Honestly, it's nice to keep as much of my routine as possible. However, I might be a little slow answering emails and comments, so bare with me. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted...

Veronika, my prayers are with you, Martin and your Mom. i'm so very sorry this happened - seeing your most beloved ones going through any kind of struggles, let alone having to be hospitalized is so traumatic. i think of all the hard work you've had to do for yourself over this last year-ish and how you've fought for your own wellness. now this. seems so unfair but on the flip side you've had these personal experiences that have definitely brought you to a higher level of emotional and spiritual awareness. having this inner belief system and the power behind knowing yourself that much more will only be of greater assistance to your dear Mom as she can rely on your energy to uplift her own. this is my prayer for you both.
ReplyDeletethinking of you and can't wait for another hug-it real soon. xo ♥
Veronika, I'm so sorry to hear this. I could not even imagine the emotions I would be going through. Thinking of you and wishing your mom a very healthy recovery. xo
