Among Friends

[mzlg]

@nagrom, like @hckynut and so many others have said, " Wish there were something more I could say that would make things better for you. ...

Just know, which I realize is not by any means consolation, that you are not alone in that 'boat', you do have others, unfortunately, in there too ...

I've been told, many times, 'take a deep breath, pray, exhale and repeat, repeat, repeat ...

My thoughts and prayers are with you & DH.

Boy, can I relate to your post!  Everything bad seems to happen at once and we are pushed to our limit, and then some.  I am sorry you have had so much at one time.  I do hope you have someone to talk to and understand.

This board was my "friend" when I felt so alone!  I made it and so will you.  Yes, you will hurt, but you will make it!  This too shall pass!

First I want to send Prayers your way. You have been given a huge plate to deal with. You have a right to feel as you do at the moment.

Many years ago I went through a similar four year period. 

It's hard to believe now, but as a dear friend of mine used to say, "This too shall pass". GB

I'm sorry, that must be very difficult.

I think you should look into a cancer support group, given it's had such a large impact on your life. I think they can help you when you feel ready to shut down. You can get some information here: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/coping/adjusting-to-cancer/support-groups

Terribly sorry.

I am so sorry for your pain! Sometimes it is overwhelming! That's when you simply give everything to Him for a while! He's the final athority anyway, right! After reading many other posts, I realized that we all have times like these! My sil used to joke that the odd numbered years were the bad ones for our family! Then, he decided it was the even years. Sad to say, we've had a bunch of years this way! I guess it's called life! I will keep you and your dh in my thoughts! God bless you both!

I am so very sorry for all you're going through!  I hope all our warm thoughts reach you.  This is an amazing group!

Thank you for listening to me.   It is hard to deal with.  I am holding my breath for hubbys check up.   He says he is having symptoms too.   Don't think I'll be able to sleep.   Back issues add to my list.

I will say to myself keep my head high and chug along.........I think I can.

@nagrom  You and your DH are certainly in my thoughts and prayers.  It seems that BAD things happen so close together.  If you pray, pray for strength.  We can never understand what the good Lord has planned or His reasons for things that have happened.  Someday we will.  In the meantime, you need to take care of yourself.  I must say that your back pain is most likely related to all the stress you are under.  Take deep breaths, relax, take time for you.  Your husband needs you to be healthy and strong should something pop up with his health.  After ten years of battling cancer, my husband had a bone marrow transplant.  He was/is cured and we feel it a true blessing from God.  However, the whole thing was stressful.  The year of his transplant, my dad died suddenly, my dog died, and a year later, my mother died.  All the stress took it's toll, but I had to just turn it over to the good Lord.  It gave me peace to do this because I couldn't control or change the cirucumstances.  I hope you can find some peace, some rest, some relief from your stress.  I am sorry for all your losses.  Sadly, this is all part of life, BUT life does go on.  It will get easier.  Look ahead.

Take care~

I am so sorry for the huge burdens you are carrying. I can understand why it's almost too  much to cry about. You need a soundproof room in which you can scream! What are you doing to take care of yourself? You must do something for yourself. Counseling? A regular weekly massage???? A hot fudge sundae? (OK, that's MY therapy.)

((( hugs)))    ..... no words can tell you how much empathy I have for you...

I dont know if you like to read but I often recommend a book called "How to Survive the Loss of a Love" by Colgrove and Bloomfield.   It is very easy reading.... and it has helped me thru several rough spots.
