      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey there, I just noticed you wrote this post 11 days ago and you said you were doing IVF in 2 weeks.  So it'll be in a few days, right?  Just wanted to send you sticky baby dust.  I don't mean to downplay your care giving issues, but embarking upon parenthood is huge and momentous.  Maybe you have success, have a healthy pregnancy and baby!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Keep positive thoughts, it may even be beneficial with the IVF process. I pray that you get the results desired.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Be comforted that your parents have each other and let them move together into the assisted living. It can be a perfect place for a couple. They clearly are affording it by themselves if they are telling you that is the plan. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try to stay informed and in touch as you live your life.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Boy can I relate to the depression you are experiencing.  You have to take one moment at a time...that is all we can do.   And stick together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Please don't drink. You have come to the right place to vent out your frustrations. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry to hear about your mother's diagnosis. I hope this meeting with the long distance caregivers went well! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please do let us know how you are doing. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take care of yourself,
Kathy&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We are planning an IVF cycle in 2 weeks.  It's a big deal.  Lot's of money.  My father informed me they are moving to assisted living in, like a month.  It has to be done as all the drama of my mothers alzheimers is finally coming reality.
We went through all the stages. Denial until it was getting so obvious that I set up an appointment with the General Doctor and she was diagnosed on the spot. 
Now, they are moving.  I am long distance by the way.  Can't really help cause I am trying to get ready for this cycle.  We don't have a lot of support in our family.  Anyway, every time I get an email I get deeply depressed to where I can barely function.  I feel like drinking just to blot out the pain but since I am cycling I can't.
I have a first meeting with long distance caregivers tonight.  I hope this will help.  any other advice would be appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;
