I can understand about needing some pressure relief from something like this.
However, if it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy said week long vacation much at all.
Maybe taking a day at home once a week to rest and recover, if the child was otherwise stable. If sue had actually made a routine in which she looked after herself and built that inot the schedule, she wouldn’t have gotten to a breaking point like this.
That’s exactly what she should have done. Of course caregivers need time. But, a week in Ireland? And then writing an article about ‘poor me’ while her young child is in the hospital with leukemia?
Unfathomable she would admit to the selfishness and narcissism.
That’s why we were given the Sabbath. Put all non-essential tasks aside and spiritually and physically renew.
