I'm sitting here bawling. I don't want to go into details, but please keep my grandfather in your thoughts.
My grandfather still needs thoughts.
He is now currently in the psychiatric ward. I visited him the other day (had to force myself, as I hate hospitals and this section of the hospital is NOT pretty.) It was just to weird seeing my grandfather in there.
He is doing better but still not himself. The last time this happened (10 years ago,) his doctor had changed his medicine, and my grandfather nearly died. In fact, his body was shutting down and he lost part of his foot as a result.
They are not going to release him until we say he is better. The way he is now, it's going to be a while until he's out.

I'm offering prayers to all those in need... and asking for prayers as well. I'm very frightened and down. I feel unable to get into details but the time is soon approaching that I will have to leave all that I know and love in my home.
Kfamr
06-03-2007, 06:22 PM
I just can't decide what to do and I guess I officially quit?
It's either go back to work there, be completely miserable - but get any days off, any hours, etc. that I want. But still doing something that I hate.
OR
Find something I really love to do, risk never being able to get the days/hours that I want.
I always have this job to fall back on (not that I want to) but if worse comes to worse, my boss isn't going to say no to me.
It's just really stressful, especially since my dad is having to run my grandpa's business while he is in the hospital. So, I don't exactly have reliable transportation at the moment.
Why can't I just win the lottery and open up my own business? :p
Sorry for blabbing on...

A very dear friend of mine died yesterday. I don't really feel up to posting the details right now. He was a wonderful young man, one the first people I met when I moved up here, gave Stuart his first Yukon job. The good die young and Richard was one of the best. He had a large network of friends and family and we are all reeling from his death.

prayers for k9soul, glacier and Mr. glacier, and kfamr .
Could you please say a prayer for Mary, my manager. She is having a hip replacement on Tuesday. She has been in a lot of pain with this and it has started to affect how she walks over the past few weeks, so she's had backaches too. She is going to have a hard time being at home - "take it easy" isn't something she tends to do. Hopefully she will be back to us in 2-3 weeks if it all goes well. I'm sure she will phone and e-mail us in the interim.

My sister-in-law is a middle school teacher. She left at 5 this morning for Washington D.C. (14 hours by bus) with over 100 eighth graders. This is her 3rd year making the trip. They cram so much into just a few days. Pray for their safe travel and that the kids will learn a lot and be good representatives for their school.
Whoops, I forgot that I needed to update! The kids did great. The trip was not totally glitch-free but overall went really well. They graduate this week.

Talked to my mom a bit ago, she told me that my dad was taking his mother to the hospital (his father is the one in the hospital already.) She said that she was having chest pains.
I imagine a lot of the anxiety/stress of her husband being there has worn her down. Please think of the both of them. :(
Edit/Update:
They think my grandmother had another mini-stroke like she did last time. She is okay for now, they are keeping her overnight for observation.
Please continue to keep my grandfather in your thoughts. This will be the first night that my grandmother doesn't visit him and he'll be wondering where she is, and we'll have to tell him that she is in the hospital as well.
Also, being that they are both my father's parents, keep him in your thoughts especially.
ALSO, (sorry for clogging up this thread!) but my grandparents have 3 dogs. They were already very confused as to why my grandpa wasn't home, but now their mommy isn't home. My cousin is caring for themright now, I may go over later in the night to let them out.

Thanks, Alyssa, I appreciate it.
My grandma came home today.
Tomorrow, my grandpa is being transferred to a temporary nursing home/rehabilitation center. My dad and grandma went and checked it out today.
The good thing is that they will allow his dogs to come visit him. He will be VERY happy about that as he misses them so much. My dad and grandpa promised him that if the transfer goes well and he cooperates tomorrow, they will bring his favorite dog, Angel, to visit him. The visiting hours are whenever and you're allowed as many people as you want. The hospital's visiting hours were only from 6:30-7:30 and you were only allowed 2 people at a time. Barely enough time for all of us to really visit with him.

What a horrible night.
My mom just called me and said that the motor in her car died. And she has nobody to call.
Prayers that she gets home, please? She's stuck off an interstate exit about 20 miles from me.
:(:(:(:(:(

Oh Bri! Prayers for your mom. Would the state troopers be of help?
When a car engine dies, it is not always an expensive thing.
I hope she gets help soon - if she calls the police or emergency, they should help her!
HUGS!

She just called me back. Some man along the interstate is bringing her home. She forgot to lock the car doors though. :rolleyes:
And the car is stuck there. Ah well. I've hated it since the day we got it. :(
Catty1
06-09-2007, 09:50 PM
Well, at least your critters are being looked after....needing car repairs now, or even another car, makes that more important than ever.
I wonder if she knows anyone at work that can look at her car?
Prayers that all works out - and it will.
She'll sure be tired when she gets home.

Yeah, thank you. I'm pretty sure we'll need another car. We've had so many problems from the old hunk of crap. My uncle was going on and on about what a wonderful car it was.. :rolleyes:. It has that problem, it leaks antifreeze, it leaks transmission fluid, it overheats.. and I'm sure there's more that is unknown to me.
Thanks. *hugs*
Catty1
06-09-2007, 09:58 PM
Pardon me...but I suspect your uncle's thinking about that car has a "leak" as well.... :p
Maybe he can help with another one? That car is not safe for you or your mom.

LOL!
I don't trust him with getting us cars anymore and he's probably going to blame this all on my mom. Some family I have.
I just applied my mom for a fresh credit start, so maybe they can help with something. Bad credit and all.. she had to file a bankruptcy several years ago thanks to my stepdad. :(

Requesting prayers for Roxyluvsme13 - as you read, the car died and left her mom stranded.
The car is toast - and the mom is the sole income and needs to drive. There is one chance that they can get another vehicle...prayers that this works out for them, and affordably.

On top of that, could you send a few for my friend Nicole? She was in the hospital this week and still isn't doing well, for reasons I don't want to make public. She is doing a lot better but she has been sick on and off over the years and she almost died this time.

He's in a lot better spirits and sounds SO much better. I think this new place is really doing him good.
I sent some homemade cookies with my grandmother to give him today. He requested more. ;)
I hope he can come home soon.

A few hours ago we heard shattering of glass, we couldn't figure it out but just now my mom saw the sun light in lakeweed's (my turtle) tank busted. She tried to get as much of the glass out that she could, while I held Lakeweed. My dad wasn't much of a help, just screaming making it worse :( (I'm pretty sure its all gone) But send out good vibes that Lakeweed didn't eat any of the glass before we saw it, or cut her leg/face where we can't see.

I was thinking of 'your Brian' the other day...and wondering if you had heard anything.
I hope you are ok as you can be...and I know he hated how he was living in the last year or so, and if he can feel joy, will be so glad to be free.
It still leaves a hole...a huge one....{{{{hugs}}}} and prayers to you.

I am once again asking for prayers. Although I don't know if I believe in those any more and this is coming from someone who attends church twice a week.
I just found out this morning that things are taking a nasty turn. Alden has filed for divorce, taken money out of the bank (which was supposed to be mine) and even filed for a restraining order against me. I don't understand the restraining order. I've only seen him once this past month and talked to him twice. Once to see if he could fix my washer and then this morning when he told me what he was doing. He was extremely cold and said I was no longer his concern. I don't know how things got so bad. This is all coming from the same guy who said he would pay the house payment, the car payment, dog food and vet bills and even my medical bills. I was bawling like crazy this morning but still managed to make it to work. I am numb now and scared. There is a huge part of me that wants to get this week's paycheck and take what little money I have in the bank and just disappear. I'm so tired of feeling like I'm insane. I have to end all of this.
I know I will regret posting here.

(((hugs))) Robin, even though you feel insane, it's his behavior that sounds insane. Chances are there is more going on with him than meets the eye. Starting a separate bank account and getting a lawyer immediately are good suggestions. You need to look out for Tori, Katy, & yourself. I'm so sorry it's t urning nasty. You're still in my prayers.

Robilee - get a lawyer AT ONCE. I am sure there are one or two in your congregation, or your pastor can recommend one.
Do that now. And write down everything Alden has done - bank account #, what the withdrawl was, everything. Keep a record - this will be useful because you will be upset for a while and it will be hard to keep everything clear.
I know it is HARD to do practical things - but you have to protect yourself and the kids.

Wanted to update everyone, not to take away from anyone else's prayers - Grandpa is home now. :) So far, so good I believe. He got home last evening and we haven't got any calls from them yet - so I suppose no news is good news? :confused:
It still may be a while until he up and about his normal self, so please still keep him in your thoughts if you've got room for him. :)

Robin, never feel bad for posting here. My brother just got a divorce and went through something similar. She cleaned out their bank account of a huge amount. I know how much divorce hurts from a marriage that wasn't a happy one so I can't imagine how you're feeling. I'm not understanding why the men change like that. It's happened to a couple of my friends. But whatever, please don't think it's you. It's them and when they wake up and realise what they've done, they'll more than likely regret it. Just take comfort in those gorgeous, sweet dogs of yours and realise that you're not alone. You have us all for support.
Kay, glad your grandpaw is doing better. I lost both of mine at pretty early ages and really can't remember them too much at all.

He's still in the hospital. They are looking for another nursing home for now, or forever. The thought of having my grandfather in a nursing home forever is incredibly heartbreaking. He is a very hard working man and would prefer that he was working right now. He's even asked the nurses if he could help them with their work.
What's going to come out of his business, my grandmother, and him the next year or so, I don't know.
I haven't been getting much sleep at all over this. I really try to go to bed before 3-4AM but it never happens. I swim daily and take hot showers before bed, trying to make myself relaxed, but I am still unable to fall asleep at a reasonable time.
We did have a get together at my grandma's house today - she wanted us all to come over.
Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate it.

Just checked in here and my prayers are with everyone who has requested them. I didn't update from my post I made a few weeks ago in here but I did in my birthday thread. Either way, my brother's court date is moved back to July 5th. That is when the sentencing will be and the judge's ruling for the new trial and also the dropping of one charge. I pray that this will all work out somehow.

the mother (good friend I don't even know of my friend's who I've been staying with) rushed out with authorities earlier today and left me with three kids, plus the two nieces my friend had (because of their prisoned father) had to go with her and left them here with me too - five kids; 10, 7, 5, 3 and 2.
we haven't heard back from them since this morning - kids, I didn't know when they last ate, what they can't eat or where to take them for medical attention if needed but tried my best and am totally out of finances - not much food around here. and miss their mother so much.
I also still need to go home to my ark to check on them ... I can't take the kids into my car, we need one more baby seat. I am worried about crayola especially.
I'm a bit lost here but enjoying kids - all are asleep restfully now. sigh, a long dragged day. please keep us and everyone in your thoughts as things will go okay and for a smooth prepareness.

thank you candace. I decided to wait until I hear from my friend before I post again. she left with her for moral support.
she'll be back here soon to help me out with kids and lunch. but had a bad news, the mother won't be coming back for a while. :( violated a law. now I don't know if I can leave my friend here with five kids, gone to camping this weekend. I feel so bad for her and all of this is just surreal.

prayers for my neck too please! lol. I couldn't move my neck or look down at all this morning. :( I hope it didn't sprained in swimming pool yesterday - a kid jumped on me. I even couldn't feed my ark this morning eh. it's so sore.. sigh.

Just an honest question here, since I didn't actually get a response... are the kitties with you in the apartment/house with the kids, or are they at someone else's place? I know you said you'd never leave them in the car, so just wondering where all the furry ones are at.

My grandmother was supposed to go for hip replacement surgery in April. Now she can't have the surgery until she sees a heart specialist because there might be something wrong with her heart. She is 85 years old. she needs prayers that everything is OK with her heart and she can have her hip replacement.... it is causing her so much pain.
I offer my prayers for all who need them - may they be safe - may they heal and be healthy.

The doctors did tests and found a syst (don't know if i spelled it right) on his lung that was the size of a tangerine. There is a chance that he may have Cystic Fibrosis.

Update on my grandpa:
He has been in the hospital since the last update. He is now in a new nursing home, transferred today. I hope to be able to visit him sometime this week. My dad visited him yesterday and he said he was crying on and off the whole visit.
I'm not sure if life will ever be back to "normal" for him. So, I don't know what is to become of him, my grandmother, my grandpa's business, and so on.
Also, my uncle Joel (who I haven't seen in 7-8 years - he lives in California) is going to have a triple heart valve replacement surgery soon. When he was born doctors expected him to die at age 5. He is now close to being 60 or so.
Please keep in your thoughts as well. Things aren't looking too well for him.

The visit went well with my Papa.
He is VERY emotional. VERY. My dad says he thinks he's getting worse. I wouldn't know, but my dad has seen him this way more than I have so he would.
He enjoyed and ate 2 cookies and a brownie while we were there (I made him some truffle brownies, too.) We went outside and sat on one of the tables in the courtyard. There's an aviary out there, too.
He seems to be making friends there. But he also kept saying how he wanted to come home. He'd go on about how he loves my grandmother and then start crying saying that he's sorry he's put her through this (his breakdowns.) We tried comforting him and telling him that she understands and loves him too, or else she wouldn't have stuck by him for so long.
Right now, it's not looking too well. I don't know if he'll ever be able to return home.
Sorry for yacking on.
*edited to add*
I wanted to get others opinions on this..
I was thinking of making a collage of photos - of my grandmother, us, his dogs, etc. and giving it to him the next time I see him. My dad thinks this may make him too emotional. I'm sort of leaning that way, too, but at the same time I want him to know that we all love him and want him to get better.
I don't know... what do you think?

I think collage is always a wonderful idea, a really great reminder of how many beloved people are around him when he is alone in the hospital. getting emotional could be a joy?

update on the kids, they all are gone now - back to their grandmother and father. not that I mind, but back to my (and resting) schedule is nice too! having five kids and all furkids altogether was an interesting experience. :) also werid to see no kids here anymore. :( I love kids though.
the fathers will be out of jail on august 28th, at the end of their parole. I hope that means the girls will never have to leave their fathers again! and wish them living happily after.

My friend's mother is in the hospital with leukemia. She was originally given an excellent prognosis, but has gone downhill recently. She now is waiting on a bone marrow transplant which will probably not buy her much time. There is a *small* chance she'll be OK after the transplant, but odds are she's just putting off the inevitable.
She is the sweetest lady anyone could ever meet. When my friend knew someone in high school who wound up homeless due to an abusive parent, this lady took the kid in and adopted him. That's just the type of person she is, she is absolutely amazing.
Vibes that this transplant is successful, the world needs loving people like her in it.

My uncle Joel passed on today.
They were supposed to have his triple heart valve replacement surgery on Tuesday. They moved it to Thursday. He had a 50/50 chance of making it.
My poor mother was in tears. It's rare to see her upset like that. She has collected herself because she said he wouldn't want everyone to be upset. He'd want everyone to still celebrate the 4th.
One of the things my mom said was that she wasn't going to be able to say goodbye to him. I really wish I could get her out there somehow. I really really wish. I didn't know my uncle Joel too much, since we're so far away, however, seeing my mom so upset had me in tears as well.

In Florida they are required to serve 85% so if he does have good behavior then it will be 17 years. Still sh**ty! We saw him yesterday in the courtroom, he was 20 feet away from us and we still can't hug him. He'll be in the jail he is at now for a little while still since they are still some more court dates yet. The judge denied the appeal motion yesterday so it's next step is to go to the DCA (District Court of Appeals). He has the right to an appellate bond which the judge can deny. Hopefully, the judge will grant him that bond so he can come home until the DCA looks at his case. This law in Florida, 10-20-Life is not made for cases like his. It's made for drive-by shootings and the like, not for my brother's case where he fired shots into the air, not at the people who were coming after him. He either would have had to shoot them as they came into his truck or lie down and take the beating. :confused: :mad: Our family is going to bombard the governor with letters to let him know that this law does not take into account anything other than he fired the gun. My brother has no prior record and he scored low on the sentencing points but since this case falls into that law it doesn't matter. My parents are going to see him tomorrow and he called last night while I was over there. I didn't talk to him just my parents did. This has been the hardest thing my family has ever gone through. He went to church when he got back to the jail yesterday. He has been going ever since he's been in there. What is God's plan for him and my family? Why are we getting stuck with such a shi**y lot in life?

One more bit of good news, my nephew was chosen to go to Turkey on an archeology work trip this summer, yay! I don't know that much about Turkey except that it is located near Greece, has a history going back centuries, the home of Turkish Angora and Turkish Van cat breeds, and currently mostly Muslim. I bet I will learn more about Turkey and the Muslim religion as he gets ready to go, though.
My nephew left on July 7th. He flew from here to Istanbul, and then from Istanbul to Ankara. He will be on the archeology site until the middle of August and have a few days to see the city of Istanbul before returning home. This is the team's 10th summer there and they have a good relationship with the people of the nearby village. He was told to dress modestly, nothing very tight or very old and worn out. He will be on a team working with mortar. I'm sure he will learn a lot while he's there. I'll keep you posted.

Hi, even though I rarely post here I do keep all you in my thoughts and prayers. Now I'm requesting some prayers.
My parents have been out of town in San Clemente and I called earlier today to check up on things and to see when they'd be back in town. I've been watering their plants and making sure that eveything is okay at their house. Since they didn't answer I thought that they went to San Diego to my brothers house.
My mom called me back tonight and said that she just got out of the hospital. She had been having a hard time breathing on Wed. night. She called the advice nurse on Thurs. and she told her to go the ER. My mom thought about it but didn't want to spend all day there so she didn't go. She then had a horrible night on Thurs. and was up and down all night. On Fri. morning she told my dad that they were going to the ER.
They did some tests and found out that her heart is enlarged and she has some fluid in her lungs.:( She has congestive heart failure and it may be due to a virus.:( Her father died of congestive heart failure. They decided to admit her to the hospital and monitor her and run more tests. They did an ultrasound and they also found a gallstone in her gallbladder which will need to removed in the future. She's had no pain from this.
She's now on medication and she'll either stay the same or improve over time. The fluid is now out of her lungs so she should be able to sleep fine. She needs to not do any strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or go outside when it's too cold or too hot. She'll go back for more tests later on with her local doctors. My parents will probably be back in town this Thurs.
I'm so glad that she went to the ER. She had a similar attack the last time they were in San Clemente but it went away and her local doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her. I hope that she'll continue to improve. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.

krazyaboutkatz-i'm so sorry about your mom's heart troubles.did her dad also have an enlarged heart?
I dated a guy many years ago that just had a heart transpant at 26 years old...from heredatery genes.His mom has had an enlarged heart...his mom's brother had a heart transplant from an enlarged heart and now his sister's 15 year old boy has an enlarged heart.
only him (The guy i dated)and his uncle needed the transplant.
I hear the 26 year old is in his early 40's married with kids and his uncle is still alive after 20 something years after his heart transplant.
They can do wonders(Some doctors with hearts).
I hope for the best and future good health for your mom.I also think you should get yours checked early,for early detection so you can live to be 110 years old.
Oh...the guy i dated was written up in all the local papers about his heart and the job well done by the doctors.His family has done remarkable.

Robin. Still seeing your counsellor? Maybe you need a different one?
I hope you get angry soon - no person is worth losing your life over. But this is progress - even thinking you want to get angry - and not frantic that the other person will change or change their mind. Looks like a change to me.
Maybe getting angry at the dark thoughts and telling them 'where to go' would be a start. I am not kidding.
It's darkest before the dawn, hon.
Repeat gently: "Thy will be done." Repeat it.
Pray for serenity to accept what you can't change. (Other people, places and things).
For courage for what you can. (Your reaction, with faith or without).
Wisdom to know the difference.
Acceptance, in my books, has nothing to do with liking something - FAR from it. It means facing life on life's terms. Acknowledging that is the way it is. It bites. It sucks. It hurts like h***.
"Unless I accept life on life's terms, I cannot be happy."

Just WHAT does he do when he "miss"-behaves? ;)

Prayers for my mom, please. She has been through two years of chronic sinus trouble with one of her two cats (who belonged to my late sister). Up to a week ago, she had started feeding the poor guy by hand. His character was always constant, but he had been sneezing stuff with a lot of blood...
He had surgery 10 days ago...came home on Sunday. Mom learned to syringe feed him, gave him lots of love...and this morning the surgeon called to say he had nasal cancer. It hardly ever happens, which is why they went ahead with the surgery. The CT scan was done...but it doesn't show malignancy.
There is no cure...chemo or radiation are palliative only...and he had already stopped eating except for being hand-fed.
She worked so hard with him, up three times a night, feeding 5 times a day.
Pyka went to the Bridge at noon today.
Pray she gets a good sleep tonight...pray she has peace. She did everything possible for that dear boy.
Pray for Pyka too.
thanks

Prayers, please, for my Aunt. She had emergency surgery yesterday for a malignant brain tumor. She is elderly (82, I think) and far from home. She lives in Indiana and was in Iowa visiting her granddaughter. She is in intensive care, and sedated. If she opts for chemotherapy, she will live 6 months, if no chemo, 3-4 weeks. I spent many summer vacations with her and my Uncle and my cousins on their farm as a child. Any prayers you could send out for her to be peaceful and restful would be appreciated.

Can I add my mom to the prayer request list? She has some sort of stomach issue (the medical details of which are lost on me) and she hasn't really eaten in a very long time. The only place she can go for treatment is this clinic in San Fransisco, which I guess is good because they are the best place to go for this sort of thing on the west coast. She goes on Tuesday...I hope the doctors are right and that they can fix the problem right then

Donna - prayers for your aunt...as far as predicting when someone might die, my own doctor said to me, "I'm always wrong." Tammy Faye was given two weeks over a year ago.
There is real hope for your aunt to surprise people - if she wants to. My prayers go out to you.
And DJFyrewolf, prayers for your mom. Maybe it is a bit of a twist in her digestive system that can be straightened out quickly. Prayers to you and her!

Thank you for the prayers everyone. My Aunt is to be released on Monday, and will fly home to Indiana on Tuesday. She is doing okay, but is very confused on where she is. The doctor told her yesterday that the tumor will grow back and she will not get better, but that she has time to make some plans. She apparently is at peace with that. I will go to see her when she is back in the state and is a little more stable. It is a 3 hour drive from me. She is a strong woman, and believes strongly that her God will help her through this. I know He will also. It is still hard.
Catty1, thank you for the words of encouragement.
Any prayers for a safe flight to Indiana would be appreciated. I know she and her children are sooooo stressed. Thank you all.

Donna - I am glad to hear she survived surgery. :)
As for the tumour growing back...you might want to check with a doctor - but I seem to recall that tumours grow much more slowly in elderly people.
Wishing you a safe flight, and a good reunion.
Keep the faith! {{{hugs}}}

How do you deal with it when your whole word comes crashing down around you.. when you have to leave everything you've come to know and love? How do you deal with the pain of a love lost, the feeling of betrayal? How do you deal with it when everything you see, everything you hear seems to carry some memory that brings pain. How do you go on when the person who was your whole world is suddenly cold and unfeeling, just wants you gone from their life, to be replaced by someone else. Everyone says 'there's better out there, there's happiness waiting.' And yet I don't think a shattered heart ever completely mends. Maybe I'm wrong and time will prove more a salve than I think it can.
I'm having such a rough time. Please spare a prayer for me if you can. Sometimes I think the pain will consume me.

I could have wrote these words myself. I feel your pain, Jess. I know your pain. From what I hear our hearts will never fully heal and it can take years to get through this. I constantly wonder how much longer I can hold on. How much longer I can wait for time to heal the wounds. The betrayal, the rejection. The feeling that your whole marriage was one big lie.
I will be praying for you, Jess. Somehow we have to find the strength to get through this.

Jess, just wanted to let you know that I'm still thinking about you. Prayers are being said. I believe in the power of prayers but have given up saying them for myself. I will continue to pray for you.
I had a fantastic day yesterday. Spent it with my wonderful friends here from PT. I felt like I laughed, giggled and smiled all day. On the way home I got a phone call from HIM. That was all it took. I didn't even talk to him just listened to his voicemail. I couldn't recover though. Cried most of the way home. I hate what is happening. I hate life. Sorry to go on. Jess, I just want you to know that I really do know how you are feeling and I care. I'm holding your hand and squeezing it right now.

Thank you so much for the warm thoughts and hugs. Robin I'm always thinking of you too, praying for you and holding you close in my heart. In fact often when I'm having one of those hard moments I think of you and how you are going through this pain too. When I'm having a good moment I think of you and hope you are having good ones too. I'm glad to hear you had some time away from the pain and got to laugh and have good times with friends. There will be more of that to come, for both of us. For me, evenings/nights are always hardest, when the loneliness is greatest. I will be moving to Illinois as soon as this house is out of my name and I find one down there that is right. My mom and stepfather are helping me and looking. I'll be moving closer to them.

RobiLee and K9Soul, I am praying for both of you. Believe me, I have been through the agony and pain of a betrayal and love lost. My divorce was final 5 years ago, and the pain has lessened. However, it is hard, even today, as there are always reminders. For myself, I went into therapy, and that helped me immensely. I pray that you will find the comfort that you so deserve and that you will begin to move forward. May God bless both of you.

08-06-2007, 10:43 AM
Robin and Jess: This is from my own experience, so I hope this is not construed as disrespectful:
I divorced in 1988. The marriage was quite short, but still was a kick in the gut.
A few weeks later, a friend I had known for almost 20 years sent me a "divorce" card - they were just coming into vogue then. On the front of the black card were big metallic red capital letters spelling out: "D-I-V-O-R-C-E". In smaller letters: "It's not a pretty word, but remember...." (open card)
"...it's worth 13 points in Scrabble."
************************************************** ***
One more from a greeting card I read in a store: "When he comes back and tells you he's sorry..." (open card)
"AGREE with him!"
HUGS!

Robilee and k9soul, I am so sorry. I'll be thinking of both of you.
Robin you have been looking and sounding so great lately that I was hoping the healing had really begun. I am so sorry to read that you are still hurting so much. Please know that I care and am only a PM away. I am so glad that you and Anna are such good friends and you are close enough to get out to all of the PT functions. ((((hugs))))
Jess, I am so sorry that you are going through this as well. I think a move will help enormously. Living in the same place with all of the memories is, I am sure, making it harder.
Remember, both of you, "two steps forward and one step back." You are healing although it doesn't feel like it right now. You are making progress even though sometimes you feel you are standing still. You are both strong women and there are lots of people here who love you and care about you (not to mention five dogs who just think the sun rises and sets in you). ((((More hugs))))

My prayers to all who are hurting.... and especially the coal miners in Utah. What a dreadful time for their loved ones.
I also wanted to give an update on my Aunt. She is back in Indiana and is staying with one of her daughters. She has been to see a cancer specialist here in Indiana and she is going to have some radiation treatments. She understands that they may or may not help. She is at peace with that.
Please keep her and her children in your thoughts and prayers. This has been a nightmare for all of them, and they need all of the support they can get. My folks live in Florida, but will be in Indiana at the end of the month for a granddaughter's wedding.... they will spend some time with my Aunt then. I know they are anxious to see her. The phone calls just aren't the same as being there in person.

She was doing REALLY well this year...had some blood work done on Friday cause she felt ill (and her pee was DARK!) - the hospital called her in YESTERDAY because the bloodwork showed she had had ANOTHER heart attack.
She just turned 42 in June.
She is going for an echocardiogram today...and is trying to not cry, she is scared...hoping they don't have to put a stent in...
Also - she has quit smoking a million times, and is still trying...please pray for a miracle for her, that she will stop and that her health will improve.

As far as an update on me, I think things are gradually getting worked out. I continue to get ready to move, my move date is Sept 12. It's tough as I am leaving everything I know here in MN, moving to a state I have never lived in. I am also now legally divorced. Trying to take one day at a time, managing the sadness and anxiety as best I can. There are also times of anticipation too though. I'm mostly ready for a new start now I think. Though there are times still I wish I could go back. I just wish the transplanting part was over.

Robin, you're not going anywhere unless it really is on a trip...to come see me. ;) Your dogs need YOU, your parents need YOU, your son needs YOU, and we need YOU. I know the pain from losing your husband is very fresh and extremely difficult, but there's people who care about you too.
I echo what Amy and Krista have said, you know that...
this isn't your fault - it is HIS...
we love you!

I am not well. I constantly think of death. I don't really want to die. I just want to end the suffering and pain. I will never be right again.
Please pray for me. I don't know if I will make it. I'm typing this to reach out. To voice my thoughts. To try and get a grasp on things.
I don't know how to stop this behavior that I have taken on. What do I do? Should I have myself committed?
I'm so scared.
Sweetie, if you are scared, yes, do check yourself in somewhere. This is the depression, and you can fight this. We all need you to take care of yourself, and if that means getting some professional help right now, go for it!
You're too young and pretty to be thinking about pushing up daisies any time soon - too many people love you for that. I am sure Brandon will watch the dogs if you're hospitalized for a few days.

Robin. See your doctor. Or get yourself to Emergency now.
I know you can't see beyond RIGHT NOW. But there is life beyond this.
Give life a chance.
And please keep posting.
hugs

Robin,
It's me here. How you doing sweetie? I'm worried about you.
You know you have many people who love you so if you need to reach out please do it. We don't want to see our friend leave us.
I'm going to call you.

I haven't been around Pet Talk very much at all, so I am not familiar with you losing your husband.
Robin, I used to sit around and think of death also, I mean all the time. I found out it was the meds I was on. Please know that you are in my prayers, and I will be thinking of you. I really hope the best for you, and I am sorry for any losses you have suffered.

Robin, call your doctor TODAY. This is depression talking, not the real you. And do not hesitate to call a Help line, in the moment you feel so desperate. There IS HELP to get through this.
You've been through some terribly sad & tragic sitations over the past couple years, and the stress levels have drained your body of the resources to deal with it. So PLEASE make that call TODAY.
Many people who love you don't want to see you suffering like this.
Please call, I'm going to pm you-

Robin, I'm glad you posted so you could see how many people care about you and are worried about you. Please think about taking a few days to get some help. Whether it is taking a trip to visit someone away from home (like Amy in Utah), or if you feel you need a few days in a hospital do it. The logisitics of it will work out, but you need to care of you. You can get through this, and you can be happy again.
Lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way. Please call one of us, any of us, all of us, if you need to.

Robilee,
Please don't think this way about yourself. I KNOW you're going through a very bad and hard time in your life right now, but no matter how bad life is, there are always good things too. Katie and Tori LOVE you! We love you, your friends love you. You need support right now more then ever, and Pettalk will always be here to listen to you. You are never alone, no matter how much you think you are.
((((hugs))))
Feel better!

Robin, I'm in tears reading your posts. Please call a doctor this morning. When I went through my divorce, many years ago, I got into two support groups. It made me a new person and gave me strength to get through any kind of adversity. It seems hard to do right now but believe me, it saved me and it will save you. Doctor first, support group next(if this is right for you).
You have way way too much going for yourself to not be here with us. It seems hopeless but there's another life for you out there that will make you very happy. Believe me, Robin. I've already been there and done this and there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Please PM me anytime to talk. We're here for you, sweetie.
Terry :)

robin, you are loved by many of us here and your dogs need you, katie and tori are your babies. the depression is awful and deep, your doctor or the county mental health services can help, talking to anna or staci or other close friends helps. i just met you, in person, please don't leave us.

I've been in touch with Robin on and off all day and she's not doing great, but she is doing better. It's been an emotionally draining day for her and she very much appreciates everyone's thoughts and prayers.
Just thought I'd let you all know:)

Thanks, Anna. Seeing her doctor might be a good idea, even just for a checkup. Emotional crap can do a number on our physical health.
Prayers for you, Robin. Don't let the a****les win! :)

I am counting my blessings today, and remembering any who have special prayer needs as I thank God that things in my life are good.
Jess, I'm sorry I didn't realize you had decided to move. How exciting and scary at the same time. You didn't choose this path, but perhaps a new start in a new place will be just what you need. Please know that you will be included in my prayers.
Willie, I'm glad Andrew is better. Please keep us posted on his progress. Little children deserve to feel good and enjoy life.
Staci, I hope you are continuing to heal. I will also keep that family you mentioned in my prayers.
Cyber-sibes, Gwen and her family and so many others in the same situation will be in my prayers.
I pray that Sophie's surgery went smoothly.
Robin, sweet friend, you have SO much to offer to this world. I hope that you are headed on the path that will bring you comfort and support. You obviously have so many people who love you and care about you, including me. My prayers are right there for you. We love you so much.
If I could ask, please keep the family of Amy Moxie in your prayers. Amy is a former teammate of our daughter, Elizabeth, an accomplished swimmer and had just entered Clemson University last week on a swimming scholarship. She was running over to the Athletic Dept on Tuesday to deliver some papers and dropped dead. She had just had a physical the day before. Her aorta was torn and there was nothing that could be done to save her. On Wednesday as her family was preparing for her funeral, her sister, Megan, came down with a horrible migraine headache and was taken to the hospital ER. They planned to sedate her and allow her to rest for several hours. The parents left to go to the funeral home to arrange Amy's funeral and were called back to the hospital because Megan had a major blockage in her brain and required immediate surgery. I cannot imagine the grief and worry this family is enduring right now. Megan is in critical, but satisfactory, condition today. Amy's funeral is tomorrow. :(
A good family friend, Clarke Bynum, is dying from cancer. He is a lifelong friend of mine, having grown up together, across the street. There is a very touching story and video, HERE (http://www.wltx.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=52985) in case you are interested in learning more about this wonderful man.
So many needs. I know that God hears all prayer.

Logan, your request for Amy's family just brings tears to my eyes, those poor parents, my heart goes out to them. I pray Meagan recovers fully. Please let us know how they are doing. Prayers for you friend Clarke & his family as well.
Holding all of your requests in prayer, God will answer each one.
Robin, I'm glad you are in touch with Anna, please know how much we all love & care for you. I hope you will go to Findlay this weekend, and get hugged a million times by our wonderful PTers there. Wish I was there too, and send you cyber-hugs.

I have heard from Gina, she is in a very low spot emotionally and physically, and could use your urgent prayers and support. Please PM her, if you would, as she just needs to know people care. She may answer questions by PM, but as often happens when she is travelling, sometimes isn't able to log on, and doesn't get PM notifications.

I've been thinking of everyone who's posted here and even those who have not.
If I could send some extra thoughts in for my grandpa again - he's been back in the hospital. He was doing very well. This is something that he needs to work on though.
Thoughts for my dear grandmother as well. She has been very down about the whole situation.

Oh my goodness. i was at home alone this weekend while the rest of my family visited my dad's side of the family for father's day. (I had to work) I was watching the news and i saw that someone in their area had fallen down a mountain and had been airlifted to hospital. I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be weird if i knew the person?". Well, my parents just got home and told me that it was this guy i know craig. He is my aunty's brother and he is a real sweetie. He is going to go into surgery as he crushed one of his vertebrae. Ironic since he is a chiropractor. He is a christian, (as am i) so i am sure he would appreciate your prayers. He is in a serious condition. Thanks.

I understand that Megan Moxie is doing well since her surgery, thank goodness.
Our friend, Clarke, passed away this afternoon. Please keep his family in your prayers. I know he is just fine.

First of all, thank you for your continued thoughts...
Just got a call from my dad that my grandfather tried commiting suicide last night.
He has been in and out of the hospital since May for mental related illnesses. Yesterday he was released from the hospital and allowed to go home. BIG MISTAKE, he is in NO shape to go home.
Last night while my grandmother was sleeping my grandfather took all of his pills. He started vomiting and that is what saved him.
My grandmother got up this morning, without knowing what happened, and called my aunt asking what happened to all of the pills (my aunt had filled the day pill container thing yesterday.) Thats when they figured out he took all of them.
I'm really not sure what to think. I really wish he would just get better. :(
Please keep the family in your thoughts.
Karen
09-07-2007, 03:17 PM
Oh how sad! We will keep him in our prayers still, and more intensely.
Kay Ann, how horrible for you. It must make you incredibly sad.
Yes, Karen is right - we need to crank up our prayer power for your Grandpa and also your Grandma.

Two months ago (#883) I asked for prayers for my brother-in-law who had been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. Ramon passed away overnight. Please continue saying prayers for his family. They're greatly needed.
Thank you,

Thanks everyone.
He is doing well. I'm not sure what his emotional state is but he is stable. Turns out he is really lucky. He took the wrong pills - he took his morning pills which mostly consist of calcium and vitamins. It still made him incredibly sick and his intentions were still there, but he is very, very lucky he didn't take his nighttime pills. Or I should say WE are lucky because he would be dead.
I hope I'm not selfish but I am not ready to say goodbye to him. I've never had someone really close to me pass away and I don't want to know how it feels. My uncle Joel passed but he lived on the other coast of the country so we weren't as close as my grandpa and I are.
At the same time it pains me because if that's what he wanted... I just wish he wasn't so unstable.
*SIGH* Is it bad of me to think like that?
