Oh Coyote, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, specially today. I am sending you light and love. I pray for the surgeon to have sight and allow God/Spirit to guide their hands and tools so that everything goes well.
Deetoo, it looks like we are kindred spirits in this fight. I hope things continue to improve for you. I agree, our empathetic gift makes things more difficult for us. I am so glad you are being supported by family and friends. It is not always easy for them to understand what we are going through, so their support is very precious. Somatic or sensorimotor therapy sounds interesting. I'll look that up once I've moved.
I am grateful to you Jeanne for all your help. You may not know it, but often, when I was down, you were there to help me greatly. You have saved my sanity and spiritual life on more than one occasion by giving me purpose and wise advice. Your light is powerful!
Thank you Anita for you support. I will need to look up the adrenal support you are getting. I wish you the best in your fight as well. We need to support one another. Love hope lights and prayers to you
Shawn and Michele, thank you for your word of encouragement. Your messages have given me hope and strength. Michele, your strength is admirable. I am sending you light and love. I will continue to work on eventually adopting your philosophy of life and also get rid of the shame I am allowing these conditions to give me. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and I just need to figure out
To everyone, all of your love, thoughts and prayers have given me energy, strength and hope. Yesterday, I planned things to do for my moving in 6 weeks. I was able to congratulate myself for each little things I was able to accomplish. It's been a while since I did that.
You are all wonderful people, it felt good to share my situation with you. I know I'm not alone in this and neither are you! I feel a ball/burst of love inside me that I want to share with all of you and those who have posted their difficulties on this site.
Lots of love to all of you dealing with the different situations above. Holding everyone in good thoughts and light.
I don't want to just add to the pile here, but an update on some of my previous situations that I have posted about:
My mom - she is still here dealing with her cancer. She is now in a nursing home as she needs full-time care. They tried some treatment for a couple of weeks, but it did not seem to work. They are giving her a couple of weeks to try and build some strength, get her to eat more, etc. then see what the options are (if any.) Not sure if this is just the slow decline that often happens, or if there is still a chance of some recovery. It is hard - I don't feel like she is done yet. Maybe I think that way because she is my mother and I don't want to see her go? Anyway, I humbly ask for any light, peace, comfort and guidance you can send her/our way in this process.
My daughters - we finally made a decision regarding schooling for our older daughter. She will be switching to a different school in the fall. We are hopeful that the change to a different format/environment will be a refreshing one and help her to find her path more solidly. She will be entering 7th grade, so it can be a tricky time. Nervous! But hopeful. Again, we would appreciate any positive vibes for the transition.
Thanks.
CC21 I wish you and your family all the best. I will keep all of you in my prayers. My Mom went through cancer a little over a year ago. It is very difficult to see a loved one go through something like that. I am sending you love strength and healing to you, your mother, your daughter and all of your family.
CC21,
I am grateful that you wrote today. I had been thinking about you yesterday and this morning, wondering how you and your family are doing. I wanted to ask you directly in a post but hesitated because I didn’t want to be intrusive.
My heart goes out to you, CC21. I’ve been there with my mom, and I know how difficult this must be for you. May your angels surround you, your mom, and your entire family with their healing light. I will keep you all in my daily prayers.
Bright Opal,
I agree that we appear to be kindred spirits. It is comforting to find someone who understands some of what you’re going through.
I wish you well on your move. I know that just the prospect of moving can be exhausting, so I am glad to see that you are taking it one day at a time. You’ve probably been told that people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and other autoimmune disorders need to “pace themselves.” When I’ve had a wonderful spurt of energy I have sometimes failed to follow that advice, and have paid dearly for it. It is sometimes difficult to walk that fine line between inertia (which can lead to depression) and a crazy attempt to do everything at once to make up for lost time.
Although you don’t have all of the answers, you are approaching your life challenges in a strong, clear-headed, and balanced way. You’re on your life path, walking your walk. And you’ve got guts.
May you receive the divine guidance you seek, and may your angels walk with you.
deetoo - It must have been meant to be as I had not posted or checked the board for weeks, until I decided to post. My mother passed away, peacefully, around 5 a.m. this morning. We were grateful for that as she had been struggling with her breathing and getting weaker for weeks. She was alert, but seeing things (getting ready?) the last few days, including lights she was trying to catch with her fingers. She went to bed last night and then was unresponsive. My siblings and her cousin were able to be with her and sit with her all night until she passed this morning. She was never in any distress.
I very much appreciate all of the prayers and good thoughts from all of you (whether you post or not.) We are all connected and I gather strength knowing you all are sending light our way. I do the same as I read others' posts here. Best to you all.
CC21,
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel about your mother’s passing. The passing of the person who first introduced us to this earth and who loved us along its paths is never easy. It is comforting to know that your mom was not in any distress, and that she was surrounded by your siblings and family members.
I understand the depths of your sorrow, and know how difficult this period must be for you and your family. My mom passed away from Alzheimer’s four years ago. It was so hard to lose her. Over time I was comforted knowing that the bond we shared would never be broken.
Please allow yourself as much time as you need to grieve, and let memories of the times you shared give you comfort. I am sending you blessings of healing light, love, peace.
Last night, I had to send my doggy, the love of my life, to the Rainbow Bridge.
I am beyond devastated. She was my best friend, my everything. Boxers usually only live between 10-12 years, but she was almost 13. She gave us so much joy and love...
I am distraught at the thought that she didn't realized the extent of how much we loved her.
Thank you for this forum.
Pacosurfer, I am so very sorry. My heart goes out to you.
I am currently reading a book called Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates because one of our dogs is very ill.
Dogs are the best.
Edited to say, please don't be distraught. She knew.
