I Need a Hug and a Prayer

My dear friend Michele - you know that I don't even look in the OD much but was shocked to see this post.

I'm sending you big hugs - I know you and your dh have been dealing with so much lately and I just wanted to let you know how deeply sorry I am for this latest news.

Sending you many prayers for strength and healing along with lots of hugs.

2009 just HAS to be better for you guys.

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.

So sorry your having a hard time right now. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
 
One of the hardest things, I think , is that this time of year is supposed to be so upbeat and happy. It's not always that way. that's a LOT happening all at once, of COURSE you feel overwhelmed and sad.

Crying is an amazing release! Glad you got a good one in...

You're in my thoughts! I'm also glad to hear you got a good cry in--it does make you feel lighter, doesn't it? And, please don't be too hard on yourself. If you don't take good care of yourself, you can't take good care of those around you.

Oh my gosh, I'm completely overwhelmed by the warmth and care you all have given me. Thank you so much. I can't tell you what it means to me. Really, I'm at a total loss for words. You guys are quite simply THE BEST!!!
 
Tons-O-Hugs My Friend!

Michele,

Consider yourself showered in heartfelt hugs and healing prayers. We know what an amazing person and "special" friend you are to so many. Keep strong and you know where to find us.

P.S. Listen to KB's song from CC-PP ;-) that should lift your spirits!

I'm sorry to hear about your losses and hardships, Michele. I know how much you care about all the people in your life and how much it hurts you to see them hurting. How is your MIL doing with your FIL in the nursing home? It must be rough for her. I'm glad to hear that your nephew is going to be okay! :)
 
Prayers and Hugs Michele. It's never a good time to have so much emotional turmoil but there is an added 'sting' to the losses when the holidays are near. Thinking of you xo

Take Care
Laurie
