I’m worried.
It’s been so heartbreaking watching my cousin’s health decline over the past year. She has had to have major diet changes and cut out alcohol completely or else the consequences could be terrible. Her grades in college are suffering because of health problems and also in my opinion working too much, but she has to in order to continue living on her own. I feel almost guilty with how well I’ve been doing in college so far and my relatively good health… It’s also strange comparing the state of my immediate family to theirs… our biggest problem is communication while their is health problems. When we were all growing up things were so different.
When she came into work today, she looked so extremely tired, and was saying how she could barely stand, concentrate, or get any school work done. It’s all due to changes in medication…and I’m not sure if things are improving. It seems like her energy is always depleted, like she’s not completely there like before.
I was sad when I heard she would be living up north for a year with her husband, but now I think it’ll be good compared to her being the only income down here and being alone. Rent will be cheaper, and maybe she can make more money. It’s already weird not having him at work, and it’s going to be extra weird without her there.
I’m just scared that one day things are going to turn for the worse. I hope it won’t.
