I Need a Hug and a Prayer

I really do! I'm having just a lil' meltdown. I hesitated to start this thread becasue I don't want to call too much attention to myself or seem whiney, but I've just really had it!

As many of you know, my poor DFIL has been very sick. He just spent 11 weeks in the hospital and has since been placed in a nursing home. He's not doing very well. During this time one of my cousin's died, one of my nephews was diagnosed with thyroid cancer (his prognosis is excellent, thank God!), and I just got word that one of my aunts died last night. I was supposed to see her at a family reunion over Thanksgiving weekend but DH and I were so tired that we decided not to go, and planned to see her at Christmas instead. I SO wish I could get a do-over of that weekend!

I have been trying so hard to maintain a cheery disposition but I'm afraid it all caught up with me this morning.

Well, that's all. I just needed to vent and take it out on my keyboard. And if you can spare a prayer or a hug I'd be truly grateful.

Sending lots of both, Michele. That's a lot do deal with in such a short amount of time.
 
Hi Michele

Take as many hugs as you need. You gave me such a smile yesterday the least I can do is send you a hug back.

I'm sorry you've been through such a tough time lately. I'll be thinking of you.
 
{{{{{{{MICHELE}}}}}}. I'm also adding a prayer or two. What a rough time you are having. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
 
Here's a Big hug and a big Prayer!!!

I know the overwhelming feeling, just give in to it for a little while.
Cry and cry hard. Get it out. Talk to us and your friends. it's okay to feel lousy when life is lousy!!!

I'll be thinking of you

Aww poor Michele! I feel for you--it's so tough to go through stuff like this, esp. this time of year.

Things will work out, you'll see. Don't feel bad about your aunt, she knew you loved her. You're a tough chick, you'll be fine.

And don't feel bad about venting here or being sad. It's what we're here for, & everyone has the right to feel sad sometimes.
 
Hugs and many prayers to you. Our Father in heaven knows how much you can bare, you are stronger than you realize. God bless you MICHELE and your family.
 
Michele, The pain is so evident in the words of your post.

You post brought tears to my eyes. My mum's sis sent word for me to visit in the week before she passed on and I put if off.

But I believe now in my heart that our loved ones know we care even in their after-life.

If your aunt could I am sure she would reach out and hug you and ask you not to despair.

I send prayers and healing wishes for the well-being of your DFIL and nephew.

A big, big hug for you.
 
Bless your heart. Sending {{{hugs}}} and happy vibes your way. I don't know why it is that everything is going along great then, all the sudden, bad things just start happening, one thing after another. Sometimes, when putting on a brave front gets a bit much, it really does help to just let it all out for a bit; go someplace private, close a door and bawl like a baby - when nobody's around to quiz you about what you're doing. I know how big a deal it was for you to even talk about all this here. I'll be thinking of you.
 
Michele,

Hugs and prayers your way.

I've been through that myself, a long time ago. One of my brothers, one of my grandmothers, and one of my grandfathers died within three months of each other. I felt numb for a long time afterwords. But it's OK. I've grieved, patched up the holes and go on as best I can. I'll never forget them, they have been such a strong influence in my life. Life does go on, and it sometimes can be very painful. I also know, they would want me to go on with my life. Because of them (with me for such a short period of time) life is very precious and I will be forever changed.

Be strong it does get better as time goes on. Go ahead and cry, be sad, do what it takes to grieve. You'll be alright. All these mixed emotions will come on strong, but it's just our natural way of healing.

Sorry for your losses and for the health problems of others that you love in your life. You have a lot on your plate, so get someone to talk to, or lean on for a little while.

I'm so sorry for all you are going through !!!!!
You help EVERYONE here all the time.
You are always cheerful and have a positive attitude.
But of course you are allowed down days and I'm very glad you posted , because it's your turn to RECIEVE all the love that you give out daily !!!
THANK you for all the help you were to me when I was going through the stuff with my MIL . (who, btw continues to shock everyone by living at home alone at age 86 !)

A side note too......I was dxed with thyroid cancer 11 years ago and here I am still going strong !

You are in my prayers. I hope everything starts getting better for you very soon.

Hugs,
Becky
 
Michele- after all you did for me during my little scare, I owe you tons of hugs, prayers, love, smiles...you name it and I am sending it your way! You are an amazing person and have really been through it this year - it's ok to have a breakdown and to reach out to us - we are always here for you! Just wish I was closer to give you a real hug.
