My heart is so heavy today~

There seems to be so much suffering today, we have Vic who has lost a loved one and Lesa who is struggling with her health.  Lets all come together and help with some encouraging words.  There is power in numbers~sara

My heart goes out to you too.  Sending strength your way~

God, I read every single post and I am so blessed to be a part of such a loving, supportive great group of people. I want to send love, hope and strength to IBK and Lesa. And as I read all the other posts, to everyone else who is going through losing a loved one, the strength to carry on. I also have a story. My dear father-in-law died on 11/21/13. He had a heart attack. He was an invalid for years, but had a great personality.  Then my beloved Chihuaha Scootchie died 2 months ago at the age of 13. Now, my husband has been diagnosed with something..I can't think of the name, but he went for an upperGI on 11/12/12 and the Dr. said he has pre-cancerous cells in there. He is on a lot of meds for it. We are both very scared because the Dr. said if after 2 weeks of a bunch of meds, he doesn't get any better...who knows? Surgery to remove the tumors? But I kinda have a coping mechanism, that puts all bad things in a place in my brain, and I never think of them. Until someone or something triggers it out again. I guess I used this for so many years, to just put things away that I don't want to think about, which is a lot.
But VIC, I couldn't have said it better. You'd make a good preacher. May God keep us all in his loving arms through this holiday season. Keep us strong oh Lord, let us think of the "good" in everyone we have loved and lost, and those that are suffering. Please keep us strong Lord to never give us more than we can handle. God Bless us all!!  Guards up for sure!

I feel what u feel. My Mom passed in '03. There are times that I still sit here and cry. I talk to her & tell her I miss n love her. I even apologize to her cause of the unhappiness she told me about when I was 20 y/o. It really hurts.
